Precisely so. What Jesus actually said was
Matthew 24:6
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
In other words, Take heart Wupy and Wyrdeone, Jesus says not to get freaked out just because things look a bit grim in the near term. . . .
Day by day, people.

It might not be Nagorno Karabakh, but war is bound to break out soon in Ex-Soviet Central Asia. I think that a war in Georgia is bound to happen
sooner than another war in Azerbaijan.

You might be right about that Maloy. The situation is very tense in Georgia at
the moment.

It seems like Armenia has some problems with the internet connection. Cable failures...

current situation is caused by cable failure in the Kutaisi region, which resulted in the absence of internet connection in Armenia for 6 hours.

I think Azerbaijan will have more important things to worry about in the near future than Nagorno-Karabakh. Its own leadership is holding on to power
through questionable tactics, and with billions of dollars worth of oil at stake you could start to see a strife for control. And bordering Iran and
the Middle East doesn't improve the situtation for this Islamic country.
However what you can be sure about- is that if there is a change of government, Nagorno-Krabakh will become an issue of prime importance once again,
used to rally the country behind its new leadership. This happened in Georgia the exact same way, only there wasn't as much at stake oil-wise.

Azerbaijan is gagging its media. I noticed at the beginning of May that one of the sources I'm frequently checking, BakuTODAY.net, was not updating
any news. There were no new news articles for several days, until the 8th of May when they submitted the following article:
BakuTODAY.net - Azerbaijan snaps ties with Paris-based media watchdog
08/05/2007
Azerbaijan on Monday said it would no longer cooperate with the Paris-based media rights group Reporters Without Borders which had slammed the Central
Asian nation for gagging the media.
And today, I found this article:
RFE/RL: Azerbaijan Closes Offices Of Two Opposition
Newspapers
May 21, 2007
Authorities in Azerbaijan have closed down the joint offices of two opposition newspapers, claiming that the closure was due to problems with
maintenance and fire safety.

At least seven journalists are now in prison in Azerbaijan. Rights groups have warned that Azerbaijani journalists who criticize the authorities or
expose corruption face a growing risk of arrest or reprisal attacks. Please visit the link provided for the complete story.
They won't tolerate any criticism in Azerbaijan apparently. And because they have also
banned the color orange, they say there won't be any orange revolutions there...

This conflict needed to be explained in a broader approach and needs to be linked to " Great Game " .
The conflict should also be linked to Abkhazia vs Georgia .

Azerbaijan ready for war?
According to Azerbaijan's President, Ilham Aliyev, Azerbaijan is apparently now ready to "wage war" against Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh.
FRE/RL: Nagorno-Karabakh: Azerbaijan Up For A Fight, But
Armenia Unbowed
EU officials touring the South Caucasus this week were confronted by heated words from President Ilham Aliyev, who told them Azerbaijan is ready
to "wage war" with neighboring Armenia over the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Both countries are holding a presidential vote this year -- Armenia on February 19, and Azerbaijan in October. Please visit the link provided for the complete story.
In the event of war, Turkey will most likely support Azerbaijan. And Russia will support Armenia. Iran? I'm not sure...
