[quote=@zombieaccount] Armenian had outside help from other countries if I recall, which probably justifies any tech gap issues since I don't recall ottomans being known for innovation. Euro tech from Spain probably equals the Ottoman Empire being dead for instance. All in all while it's not like Armenia is getting armed by the stif'ka, Spanish or polish weapons should suffice and I know at the very least Poland-Ukraine has supplied military tech to Armenia. [/quote] Poland and Persia were their suppliers, with Ethiopia and China giving them "Advisors". In the end, Ethiopia actually got involved in the war and an Ethiopian Army occupied Palestine. And the Walinzi assassinated the Sultan, though that happened during a time skip.
