But during that time, Stalin essentially gave the land that makes up Nagorno-Karabakh to Azerbaijan, like promised that land to them, even though that area was populated by ethnic Armenians.
And he did that.
I mean, Stalin was evil in a lot of ways, but he was also very smart, which is the most dangerous combination.
smart.
Yeah.
And so he wanted both the Azeris and the Armenians to be dependent on the Soviet Union.
And the way to do that is to put the ethnic Armenians smack dab in the middle of, you know, Azerbaijan.
And so it became an issue because, you know, throughout history, Armenians went to war with the Azeris in regard to controlling that land.
Because most of the people there were Armenian, they wanted to control that land.
And so what happened four years ago in 2020 is Azerbaijan's like, we want the Armenians out, we want to take over the land.
And they went to war.
Armenia is a tiny country.
Russia has provided security guarantees to Armenia in the past, but unfortunately, in this case, Russia didn't come to the defense of ethnic Armenians.
They said that the security guarantees had to do with Armenia and not Nagorno-Karabakh.
So a lot of Armenians died.
A lot of churches, ancient churches, were absolutely destroyed and bombed.
And the Azeris engaged in the ethnic cleansing of ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh.
They were forced out if they weren't killed.
And some of them ended up in Armenia.
And Armenia, of course, is going to take them in.
