Azerbaijan's Offensive on Nagorno-Karabakh Will Impact Israel's Diplomacy With Iran


Oct 1 2023

Azerbaijan's expulsion of Armenians from Nagorno-Karabach 

will have a ripple effect on relations 

between Israel, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Russia, Armenia and Iran.


"This is not the first campaign in which Turkey is assisting Azerbaijan in its war to eradicate the Armenian enclave. In the 2020 war, which lasted six weeks and led to the deaths of thousands of people, Turkey provided military aid to the Azeris, transferring to the battlefront hundreds of Syrian combatants who were part of the pro-Turkish militias in Syria."


(Turkeys president) Erdogan declared that "a window of opportunity has opened for resolving the situation in this region. This opportunity must not be allowed to pass." The opportunity Erdogan spoke of was stated more explicitly in his speech at the UN General Assembly, on the eve of the invasion of Nagorno-Karabakh, in which he said that "we support the steps taken by Azerbaijan, with which we work together under the slogan of 'one nation, two states,' in order to defend Azerbaijan's territorial integrity."


"Azerbaijan's ambitions have not been fully fulfilled yet, and they are not Azerbaijan's alone. Last Monday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had a meeting with his Azeri counterpart Ilham Aliyev in the Azeri enclave of Nakhchivan inside Armenia rather than in the capital Baku."


(I said it as soon as soon as it (Nagorno-Karabakh) fell.

The Azerbaijanians will take out the land corridor 

between the two separate parts of Azerbaijan first, 

then Armenia and it's churches will be wiped off the map.


Armenian Apostolic Church


The Armenian Apostolic Church (Armenian: Հայ Առաքելական Եկեղեցի, romanized: Hay Aṙak'elakan Yekeghetsi)[note 1] is the national church of the Armenian people. Part of Oriental Orthodoxy, it is one of the most ancient Christian institutions.[5] The Kingdom of Armenia was the first state to adopt Christianity as its official religion under the rule of King Tiridates III, of the Arsacid dynasty in the early 4th century.[6][7] According to tradition, the church originated in the missions of Apostles Bartholomew and Thaddeus of Edessa in the 1st century. St. Gregory the Illuminator was the first official primate of the church. It is sometimes referred to as the Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Church, Armenian Church or Armenian Gregorian Church.[8][9][10]

History

Origins

Baptism of Tiridates III

The Armenian Apostolic Church believes in apostolic succession through the apostles Bartholomew and Thaddeus (Jude).[11][12][13] According to tradition, the latter of the two apostles is said to have cured Abgar V of Edessa of leprosy with the Image of Edessa, leading to his conversion in 30 AD. Thaddaeus was then commissioned by Abgar to proselytize throughout Armenia, where he converted King Sanatruk's daughter, who was eventually martyred alongside Thaddeus when Sanatruk later fell into apostasy. After this, Bartholomew came to Armenia, bringing a portrait of the Virgin Mary, which he placed in a nunnery he founded over a former temple of Anahit. Bartholomew then converted the sister of Sanatruk, who once again martyred a female relative and the apostle who converted her. Both apostles ordained native bishops before their execution, and some other Armenians had been ordained outside of Armenia by James the Just, brother of Jesus.[12][13] Scholars including Bart Ehrman, Hendrik "Han" J. W. (H.J.W. Or Han J.W.) Drijvers, and Walter Bauer dismiss the conversion of Abgar V[14] as fiction.


I'm sure everybody knew all about that right?


"Don't forget your history, 

know your destiny. 

In the abundance of water, 

the fool is thirsty."
