But I think that Armenia should join the Eurasian Federation, even if it don´t have terrestrial frontiers with Russia, because the Armenians had suffered a genocide at the hands of the Turkish, the Kurds in the WWI and is surrounded by Turkey in the west and Azherbaijan in the east (a turkish speaking republic), both countries are sunni-muslins and, of course, the Armenians don´t want be ERASED from the map of the world and their only protection and hope is Russia. Could the Armenians trust on promises made by westerns powers, allied to Turkey, that Turkey will never want to make an "anchluss" annexation of Azerbaijan, destroing Armenia, which is between them?

How to trust in these kinds of promises? The ex-Tchecoslovakia republic trusted on the promises made by France and Britain, only to be annexed by Germany ...

The Kurds believed on promises made to them that they would have an independent state from Turkey in WWI and THEY NEVER HAD !!! Now, most of the Kurdish population lives under the oppression of the Turkish government (a key ally to the Western powers), the same government that says that "every people inside Turkey have the right to self-determination, IF THEY SPEAK TURKISH).

So, a FEDERATION of Russia, Khazakistan, Belarus AND Armenia wouldn´t be a bad thing.

I insist - a FEDERATION - not a unitary state.
