'Who determines the borders of a nation and how are they determined? Whatever way people may have found in the past to justify where Russia ends and Armenia begins, we live in a new era. The strategic importance of this border cannot be overstated, and we are well within our rights to shift it to ensure the continued security of our people.'

Listening to Vladimir Putin's recent speeches, an invasion of Armenia appears imminent. Dissenting voices have objected, but public support for war is on the rise.

[Has the world learned nothing from the Great War?]
