Azerbaijan with its oil-funded arms has taken military control of Nagorno-Karabakh. Now the question is whether it will force the Armenians out — either now or later.

Armenians have a millennium of history of Muslim conquerors seizing some of its territory and perhaps expelling them or killing them. It doesn't necessarily have to happen now. Sometimes the conquerors tolerate Christians — Islam has a tradition of tolerating Christians and Jews — but the tolerance can come and go.

When tolerated, they are second-class citizens. Furthermore, they can be punished for violating unjust religious demands, such as the law against blasphemy, Azerbaijan's dictator may not be interested in doing that, but they are not fans of human rights.
