Dunno. Turks and Turkophiles (like An*elina Jolie) will have you believe the name Balkans is etymologically turkish, meaning blood and honey.

The ultimate redpill.

The Caspian basin is important today because it's rich in fossil fuel resources. It's history is unimportant and insignificant compared to other historical locations in the region.

>>2632629
I'm pretty sure that the name "Balkans" is indeed considered to be of Turkic origin by scholars, if not specifically Turkish.

>>2632654
>the Armenia-Azerbaijan border
kek

Some of the most pointless navies on the planet exist on the Caspian Sea.

>>2635031
Using the Volga Don canal those navies can travel into the black sea or towards St Petersburg via the Volga.

>>2632361
It's shrinking and Soviets tested diseases and biological weapons on islands there.

Really?

Well I don't know anything about this but let's say russia and iran go to war, russia can't send planes and bombs and shit over azerbaijan or kazakhstan and turkmenistan without causing a huge international incident, so as long as iran has naval supremacy in the caspian sea they can shoot everything down and no russian bombs or troops themselves can get over there, they'd have to go around the long way
