The signing of a peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which would fix the internationally recognised border between the two countries, is currently under preparation. The question of Karabakh's status, it should be recalled, is not raised here in principle and is closed forever. Karabakh is unequivocally Azerbaijanian land and there is no such 'Artsakh' and there can be non of it'.
Nevertheless, Armenian extremists return again and again to their delusional ideas of a "greater Armenia" and propose its absolutely fantastic borders. In particular, Sarkis Tsaturyan, editor-in-chief of the Realist news agency, recently posted a video on social media in which he claims that Armenia 'can only have one border with Azerbaijan, which runs along the Mtkvari River':
It seems that Sarkis Tsaturyan has completely gone off the deep end of common sense and a sense of reality. He says something about the alleged need to "secure" a certain "Artsakh", forgetting that such an entity no longer exists. If, under the cover of Russian peacekeepers, the underachieving separatists are playing in the Azerbaijani territory in a kind of "Artsakh", it is a temporary game, because the wait is less than 4 years. And if Russian peacekeepers fully perform their functions and disarm all the illegal formations, even less.
Sarkis Tsaturyan's statement about Azerbaijanis as allegedly "nomadic" is totally absurd. In his words, "nomadic tribes will only stop before physical obstacles - a river or a mountain. The question arises, and when did the Khay ethnic group have states with at least semblance of "physical barriers" at least for nomads or for "non-nomads"? At least, apart from the Armenian historical tales themselves, the chronicles and documents of other nations do not record such states.
In the 21st century, it is schizophrenic to live by the categories of the deep Middle Ages. All the more so then, by the way, only a small part of the Azerbaijani people were nomadic herders, the rest were quite sedentary. It is the same as if today one were to call Hungarians "nomads" when speaking about relations with Hungary. Yes, the Hungarians recognize that they come from nomads of Ugrian and Turkic descent and are proud of it, but none of their neighbours in their right mind would build relations with them as "nomads". And no one did before - in fact no one called the same Austro-Hungarian Empire a "semi-nomadic state".
And the main thing, let's say Tsaturyan wants a border with Azerbaijan along the river Mtkvari? Then what about Georgia, which accounts for most of the upper part of the river Mtkvari, which, remember, flows both through Samtskhe-Javakheti and Tbilisi? And yet they have long been declared "Armenian" by Armenian nationalists!
How do they think to draw the border here? After all, the Avlabari district of Tbilisi, which they call "native Armenian" due to the fact that Armenian settlers settled there during the Russian Empire, is on the left bank of the Mtkvari River.
Sarkis Tsaturyan unequivocally hints at a new war. According to him, "the national task of Armenians" is to create such armed forces, which "will enable them to reach the banks of the river Mtkvari". That is, the idea of war and revanchism is not rejected by the likes of Tsaturyan and it is dangerous not only for Azerbaijan, but also for Georgia, especially since on his website of the IA Realist Sarkis Tsaturyan regularly publishes materials in support of separatism in Abkhazia, Tskhinvali region and Samtskhe-Javakheti and "justifies" plans of Armenian nationalists on dismemberment of Georgia.
