MOSCOW (Realist English). If anyone in the Kremlin or around the Kremlin hopes that after the surrender of Berdzor, the Baku-Turkish aggressors will receive a through transport link through the south of Armenia, since they will twist the hands of the Armenian people, then I hasten to disappoint them. There will be no such corridor.
Why? Because there has never been such in the history of the Armenian Highlands. There never was, you understand?!
In the tsarist and then in the Soviet times, scientists were racking their heads, but they could not find coins that would speak of any significant caravan trade from Central Asia to Western Armenia through the Caspian Sea.
There was no such trade for 2 thousand years before the Seljuk invasion of Armenia, nor for a thousand years from the beginning of the Seljuk invasion to the present day. That is, the Turkic tribes, even under the conditions of full occupation of the region, which covered the area from Aran (Artsakh and Utik) to Ani, could not establish trade communication from the Caspian Sea to Western Armenian cities.
Do you think that the situation has changed today? Look at the loading of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars-Edirne railway, which hardly exceeds 3% of the project capacity. This road, launched in October 2017, is still unprofitable and will remain such.
What prevents this route? There is only one explanation. And it is given in the Book of Genesis, where it is said that the Lord cursed Cain for killing Abel and sent him “east of Eden” (Chapter 4, verse 16: “Cain left the Lord and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden). What is “east of Eden”? This is the land located on the left bank of the Kura River, where the Baku regime now dominates.
The Minisultanate and its kingpin Aliev are following the path of Cain — they are murderers who have not repented for their crimes. The Sultanate and its leader Erdoğan , who also did not repent for the crimes of the past and present, are also following the path of Cain.
What have I told you all this for: don’t even hope that you will be able to trade through Armenia together with the Baku regime. Such an enterprise is repugnant to God, and He will punish you for it.
