You probably didn’t know that Armenians kicked million Azerbaijanis out of their home in Armenia. That incident kick-started all of the atrocities.
The Ganja pogrom was in something like 1988, I don’t think it’s fair to talk about Armenia deporting Azeris without at least acknowledging that a similar situation was happening the other way.
I don’t think it’s a great stance to act like something bad isn’t currently happening, just because awful shit has been happening back and forth for a while. It’s awful for the people being ethnically cleansed now, and it was awful in 1988 as well.
The genocide/not genocide argument seems silly here. This awful situation is because of the collapse of the USSR and NATO meddling.
Edit: just a heads up, it looks like you got banned from here. I think you’ve got a nugget of a point (i.e. “current events aren’t isolated and the tensions between Azerbaijan and Armenia aren’t as clear as they’re sometimes portrayed to be”), but I think you could’ve phrased it differently.
