Is it my imagination or are both Greek Cyprus and Armenia small Christian enclaves surrounded by Muslims? Is this perhaps a reason? could it really be related to some Islamic fundamentalists of this nature?
Concheet,
connecting tragedy of 1915, karabakh conflict with the religious question is the biggest mistake. Turks of Turkey have never been extremely religious, azerbaijanis havent even in greater extend, majority dont pray but still consider themselves muslims. Karabakh conflict is the dispute over the land, nothing to do with difference in religions. Do you kbow there is a big jewish community in Azerbaijan and they are treated the best compared to all other post-soviet republics. And these pictures you have posted underneath your post is something completely alien to our people. (though I dont deny, you may come across some radicals, but they are no way any majority and not supported)
