I believe that Armenia came to the aid of an enclave of Armenians living in Azerbaijan territory but ended up occupying an area that was mostly Azeri.  \n\nHowever I'm speculating all the way from Canada and I'm sure that they don't tell me the whole story.  I would love to come and see for myself but I can't afford to right now.\n\nMaybe you could tell us your side of the story.  I would like to hear it.

Israel wants to occupying all of Palestinian lands. Remember the previous agreements between Palestinian and Zionists. They broke all of the agreements and occupied the lands step by step.\nSo don't wonder of Zionists acts, they abusing the opportunities that other countries are concentrated on them like Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. to killing and running out innocent unarmed Palestinian of their forefather lands. While Zionists occupied other lands like Gaza, they wasting the time (some years) to have discussion about these lands and usually they won't withdraw of lands. They want to attache all of Palestinian lands to previous occupied lands.

Armenians are a sub-group of Indo-Europeans.  They migrated from the north Caucasus approximately 4500 BC. Armenian people represent their own sub-group in the Indo-European family and are one of the smallest in population.  Other Indo-European groups have their own sub-groups.  Armenians do not.

The imperialist-communist nation China had plans to to anex the Himatalya teritory so that any entry from South shall be permanently blocked. They killed thousands of innocent people in Tibet and tortured the religious heads with extreme cruelty.

This is a very good question and plummets to the heart of the matter. \n\nStates have borders. Israel's borders are in dispute. There have been numerous UN Resolutions calling for Israel to release the lands it has seized illegally. These resolutions haven't been enforced!\nThe Economist magazine recently had an excellent map of the lands Israel has illegally occupied since the 1967 War. It's astonishing Israel is getting away with stealing soooo much land.\n\nRemember, all Saddam Hussein tried to do was get Iraqi land (namely, Kuwait) back that was taken by imperial British map-makers (who had a new fleet of oil-powered ships that needed cheap oil).\n\nHypocrisy run amok in foreign policy is what it is. I think that's a reason why the terrorists are angry.

It was for colonization.  People were wanting to move farther into the country and they were mostly farmers.

The Caucasus is a region bordering Asia Minor, is located between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea which includes the Caucasus Mountains and surrounding lowlands. The highest peak is Mount Elbrus (5642m).\n\nThe nations that comprise today's Caucasus include Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and parts of Russia. The northern slopes of the Caucasus are in the Russian Federation: Krasnodar Krai, Stavropol Krai and the autonomous republics Adygea, Kalmykia, Karachay-Cherkessia, Kabardino-Balkaria, North Ossetia, Ingushetia, Chechnya and Dagestan. The northern section of the Caucasus is known as the Ciscaucasus, and the southern as the Transcaucasus.\n\nThe term Caucasian race is used almost exclusively in the United States to refer to people whose ancestry can be traced back to Europe, North Africa, West Asia, South Asia and parts of Central Asia. It was once considered a useful taxonomical categorization of human racial groups based on a presumed common geographic and/or linguistic origin.\n\nIn the United States, it is currently used primarily as a distinction loosely based on skin color alone for a group commonly refered to as Whites, as defined by the American government and census bureau. In the British Isles, "Caucasian" follows the North American definition, but in continental Europe, "Caucasian" currently refers almost exclusively to people who are from the Caucasus.\n\nThe term itself derives from measurements in craniology from the 19th century, and its name stems from the region of the Caucasus mountains, itself imagined to be the location from which Noah's son Japheth, traditional Biblical ancestor of the Europeans, established his tribe prior to its supposed migration into Europe.

Because Turkey felt they had more to lose from the invasion of Iraq than they could gain.\n\n1-Turkey was being asked to give up a large amount of profit through trade in humanitarian supplies in the oil for food program (yes, there is proof that the UN leadership was corrupt, but not the supplying countries). The USA was not offering anywhere near the amount of lost revenue.\n\n2-The United States was asking for Turkey to supply troops and access for a fight against what our government said were anti-US terrorists while offering no assistance at all against anti-Turkish terrorists (Kurds, Armenians, etc), even though Turkey has been a loyal member of NATO and ally of the United States since the 1950's.\n\n3-By creating a defacto autonomous Kurdish state in northern Iraq via the 'No Fly Zones' since 1992, the United States had turned a blind eye to the trafficing in weapons and political support to wha the Turkish government feels are isurgents inside Turkey. By replacing the Hussein regime with a potentially unstable successor state, Turkey felt this trafficking could lead to instability in the entire region (there are Kurdish minorities in Turkey, Iran, Iraq, former Soviet Union, etc).

The Armenian Genocide (also known as the Armenian Holocaust or the Armenian Massacre) is a term which refers to the forced mass evacuation and related deaths of hundreds of thousands or over a million Armenians, during the government of the Young Turks from 1915 to 1917 in the Ottoman Empire. Several facts in connection with the event are a matter of ongoing dispute between parts of the \ninternational community and Turkey. Although it is generally agreed that events said to comprise what is termed the Armenian Genocide did occur, the Turkish government rejects that it was genocide, on the alleged basis that the deaths among the Armenians, were not a result of a state-sponsored plan of mass extermination, but from the result of inter-ethnic strife, disease and famine during the turmoil of World War I.\n\nDespite this thesis, most Armenian, Western, and an increasing number of Turkish scholars believe that the massacres were a case of genocide. For example, most Western sources point to the sheer scale of the death toll. The event is also said to be the second-most studied case of genocide, and often draws comparison with the Holocaust. To date 24 countries, as discussed below, have officially recognized and accepted its authenticity as Genocide.\n\nIn 1914, before World War I, there were an estimated two million Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, the vast majority of whom were of the Armenian Apostolic faith, with a small number of the Armenian Catholic and Protestant faiths. While the Armenian population in Eastern Anatolia (also called Western Armenia) was large and clustered, there were large numbers of Armenians in the western part of the Ottoman Empire. Many lived in the capital city of Istanbul.\n\nUntil the late 19th century, the Armenians were referred to as millet-i sadika (loyal nation) by the Ottomans. This meant that they were living in harmony with other ethnic groups and without any major conflict with the central authority. However the Christian Armenians were subject to Islamic dhimmi laws, which gave them fewer legal rights than Muslim fellow citizens. The Tanzimat gave more rights to the minorities in the middle of the 19th century. However, the long ruling Sultan Hamid suspended the constitution early in his reign and ruled as he saw fit. Despite pressure on the Sultan by the major European countries to treat the Christian minorities more gently, abuses only increased.\n\nThe single event that started the chain is most likely the Russian victory over the Ottoman Empire in the War of 1877-78. At the end of this war the Russians took control over a large part of Armenian territory (including the city of Kars). The Russians claimed they were the supporters of Christians within the Ottoman Empire and now they were clearly militarily superior to the Ottomans. The weakening control of the Ottoman government over its empire in the following 15 years led many Armenians to believe that they could regain independence from them.

I think it is time for Armenians to show their power and show every stinkin' country in the middle east who they really are. They have been invaded for THOUSANDS of years and not just a decade so taking back what is their's and always was isn't invading, my friend. It is doing what is morally right.
