ArmInfo."The Armenians in Karabakh are now destroying the very bandits who previously killed our soldiers in Syria," Nikolai Platoshkin, a well-known and popular Russian historian and political scientist, diplomat, head of the department  of international relations and diplomacy at the Moscow Humanitarian  University, writes on his Facebook page.

"Armenia is now in the same position as the USSR in the terrible  summer of 1942, when the Germans, having broken through the front on  the Don, were rushing to Stalingrad. Then in our country there was a  well-known order of Stalin "Not a step back!"

Now Armenia should not take a single step back at the front, because  at stake is not victory or defeat in a local war, but the possible  extermination of the Armenian nation and the termination of the  existence of the Armenian state.

Many in Russia, fooled by television for 30 years, ask: what do we  care? In the spring of 1941 we did not have time to come to the aid  of Yugoslavia. In the summer of the same year, the Wehrmacht  divisions transferred from there had already taken Smolensk. We are  hitting terrorists in Syria (and we are doing it right) because,  having won there, they would have come to us. Putin spoke about this  more than once.  So these same terrorists, whom Turkey has always  supported in Syria, have already come to us, to the territory of the  USSR. Hundreds of these thugs are fighting in Karabakh. Dozens of  them were killed by the Armenians. The Armenians in Karabakh are now  destroying the very bandits who previously killed our soldiers and  officers in Syria. If the terrorists, with the support of Turkey,  clean up Karabakh, they will settle there and will soon come to  Chechnya and Dagestan. They already came in the 90s. And then tens of  thousands of our compatriots died.

For the sake of its own security, Russia must immediately provide  Armenia with free aid with the most modern weapons.

Azerbaijan, which, unfortunately, under Aliyev's dictatorship turned  into a Turkish vassal, must be presented with an ultimatum: if Aliyev  does not immediately stop the massacre in the Caucasus, we must  introduce a visa regime against Azerbaijan. If Aliyev is so servile  to Turkey, then let the millions of Azerbaijanis who are now working  in Russia work there, since the "great" Aliyev cannot provide them  with work.

The Armenians are now holding back terrorists on our border and  thereby saving our lives. They interfere with the restoration of the  Ottoman Empire, with which Russia fought more than 20 times. In this  difficult hour for Armenia, they should know that all honest thinking  people of Russia wish them victory.  We do not wish anything bad to  the Azerbaijanis. It's only a pity that this proud people who lived  with us in a great country, because of Aliyev, turned into Turkish  cannon fodder. Azerbaijanis must take their fate into their own  hands.

When the Caucasus was not with Russia or against Russia there was  nothing good there. For Armenians and Azerbaijanis, we are not French  or Americans who are far from them, having a poor idea of a region  far from them. We are brothers who together defeated Nazism, launched  the first man into space, loving and appreciating each other through  millions of mixed marriages and shared feasts.  Armenia! Hold on! Not  one step back! Turkey! Get out of the Caucasus! Azerbaijan! Stop  sacrificing your sons to Erdogan's imperial ambitions! "
