Talk:Upper Karabakh Economic Region

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The breakaway Armenian territories are in no way contributing to Azerbaijan's economy, other than by draining $ into the military

[edit]

Therefore: it is highly relevant to mention Nagorno-Karabakh on this page. Contra reverting fellow editor: How is it "irrelevant" that much of the "economic region" is in no way part of Azerbaijan's economy? Not talking politics: just reality. Not Trumpian "alternative reality", but real reality. How many $ does Azerbaijan's economy make of the Armenian-held territories? Rather the contrary, it forces Azerbaijan to spend huge amounts of money on arming itself. Don't mistake de jure with de facto. And ignoring reality isn't a sign of patriotism, it's only one of... Trumpism, not to call it by a more potentially insulting, if objectively more accurate term. Honestly and with all due respect. Arminden (talk) 20:53, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You do realize that the Upper Karabakh economic region doesn't only consist of the areas of Russian deployment? Most of it is now under full Azerbaijani control (Jabrayil District (full control), Fuzuli District (full control), Khojavend District (80% control), Shusha District (50% control)). And please follow WP:GOODFAITH and WP:ETIQUETTE, your comment here and in the edit summary Less painful to the Azeri eye, I hope are very offensive. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 07:51, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@CuriousGolden: hi. What did I write? "Much of the economic region is in no way part of Azerbaijan's economy." Much of = what, in your view? Rhetorical questions have no place in encyclopedic work. Compare the map here and here and then talk. Like: "The map is not up to date". OK, then fix it. Or "Aah, I see... Sorry." Whatever. Arminden (talk) 13:42, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
PS: You cannot talk away a political reality. Only wars (like the one that just ended) and negotiations can. So "erasing" Armenian names from Wikipedia articles doesn't make them go away. Read about Israel/Palestine, Moldova, Transylvania,... dozens of examples. Sometimes names are revived even after the ethnic or ethnoreligious group has disappeared or has been fully removed from the territory. Reality tends to leave a mark, only totalitarianism attempts at removing even the memory of it, as in Orwell's 1984. I suppose you must be Azeri, so just think back at Stalin's policies towards peoples he disliked or religion as a whole. Have a nice day, with lots of thinking & reading. Stay curious and open to what's not being taught in school. Arminden (talk) 13:57, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion

[edit]

Recently in July, there have been changes to the economic regions so is this now the Yukhari-Karabakh economic region, and do we need to have a new article, or rewrite this one? Thanks - RandomEditorAAA (talk) 19:40, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
