tatul: they are turks. anthony: they are turks? tatul: they are turks, yes, they are. anthony: please explain. tigran: i think probably they are not - they did not bear historical responsibility for the actions committed by the ottomans, but the struggle of the people of nagorno-karabakh for their existence is kind of a continuation of the struggle of armenian people to live peacefully in their historical homeland. tatul: i m not saying that azeris and turks are the same nations. anthony: right. tatul: but they are turkic nations. anthony: they re working in unison. tatul: yeah, they are working in unity today to isolate armenia. anthony: do you think there s a sense that when people look at this conflict, they think, they look back and they say, this is what could happen in the future ? tigran: yes, absolutely. it is absolutely an existential conflict. if we lose, we know that we will be destroyed. anthony:
society that we can only rely on ourselves. tatul: the other reality is we are paying a very, very high price. since 1994, armenians on karabakh s side have lost about 3,000 soldiers. we are losing our 18-20 year old sons, you know? this is a sad reality. and i don t know how will this situation continue. i don t know. i think it s right time to drink for peace. saro: you read my mind now. anthony: cheers. . anthony bourdain: parts unknown is brought to you by e exped expedia, everything you need to go.
