Wat.
It's a legitimate question. That conflict has, as you say been going for 30 years now. What has changed to make it relevant to the world today?

So what? I don't care about every human on the planet. That would be troublesome.
Human death and suffering is about as exceptional on this earth as sand and sun in the Sahara.

Oh, and the Turkish-Armenian border is guarded by Russian troops.
So if things go hot we might get Turks and Russians shooting at each other like they already are in Syria? Seriously if OTAN didn't come to blows over this sort of stuff in Korea it sure as hell won't here.

It's not about nationalism. It's about the fact that they are far away and frankly if they all just went ahead and murdered each other to the last man, woman, child and goat the actual net effect on me would be zero. I don't know anyone from there. I don't rely on any business from there for supplies or the buyers there for my income. They are literally not connected to me. If anything strictly speaking it would probably be positive on the grounds that there would be fewer people depleting the planets resources and creating greenhouse gasses and stuff.
