    Are you confusing something? The 2014 census showed a higher number of Ukrainians than the 2001 one, the Russian part of the population made up a higher percentage because the overall population shrank.

    As for the recognition in artsakh: a lot of us states regoznised the territory. I know that the EU did not do it, but - as I have said before- they do not want to anger Azerbaijan as we get a lot of fossils from there. This is why it is hypocritical to ditch Russian gas in favor of Azerbaijan one.

      Russia uses migration as a weapon to occupy its newly annexed territories.

      I can’t opine on the recognition or not re: Artsakh, but regional politics absolutely plays a role. Unfortunately Azerbaijan has more Allie’s on the West than does Armenia.

      However, the move from Russian gas supplies to other sources makes sense.
