Welcome to Episode 1 of the Geopolitics Snapshot, where we take a look at current geopolitical events that are shaping the world around us!
This time we take a look at the Caucasus: On April 19th 2024, it was reported that Armenia and Azerbaijan reached an agreement to delineate a part of their Northern border. Four abandoned Azerbaijani villages that were occupied by Armenia since the 1990s will be returned to Baku's jurisdiction.
Although the change in territorial control is limited, it's a huge step towards a formal peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan. However, there are still many pitfalls. In this video, we explore the details of this new agreement, what the territorial transfer and the delineation of the border will mean for Armenia and Azerbaijan down the line and why a military conflict could still emerge, especially over the Zangezur Corridor.

Armenians are only withdrawing from the lands they occupied, all of these lands are recognized as Azerbaijani territory by the whole world (even Armenia)
Those territories that are currently in Azeri territory do not even belong to them. It was Satalin who gave them to them but in several treaties between Armenia and Turkey it appears that Nakhichevan and Artsakh are historically Armenian (without forgetting that Azerbaijan did not exist on the maps until 1918).
@@sbl0436 There has been no state called Armenia for 1000 years. Armenia has been the name of a geographical region for a thousand years. The states that dominated that region were the Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks, Sassanids, Persians, Ottomans and Russians. Current Armenia is an artificial state that has nothing to do with the past Armenia. The current map of Azerbaijan is a legal fact accepted by the whole world, and even Armenia accepts this map.
@@sbl0436 Just because Armenians live in a place, because Armenians are the majority, or because Armenians ruled for a few years of history, they do not have rights on that land. With the same logic, give us all Siberia because Turks are in the majority there, give us the Balkans and the Middle East because they were ours for 400 years. The Roman Empire ruled Palestine for centuries, so let's give Israel to Italy

Amazing content!
The Zangezur corridor was accepted by Armenia but has not been implemented so far. I think Armenia expects hope from Iran, France or another foreign power in this regard, Because if the Zangezur corridor is opened, this does not only mean the unification of Azerbaijan with Nakhchivan. Türkiye will unite with the Central Asian Turks and Iran will be left out of the equation. Undoubtedly, many countries, especially Russia, China and Iran, will not want Turkey to be influential in Central Asia, but there is not much they can do at this point.
No Armenia did not accept the Zanguezur corridor. And even if you interpret the 2020 ceasefire agreement where Armenia pledged to: "guarantee the security of transport connections between the western regions of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic in order to arrange unobstructed movement of persons, vehicles, and cargo in both directions" as a corridor, that agreement has become null and void as a result of Azerbaijan's actions last September. That's like a homeowner evicting a tenant and then demanding him to keep paying rent even though he no longer lives there.
Why would Central Asian countries want to unite with people that not even Turk in the first place? (Turkey and Azerbaijan)
@@lyd4712Because if they don't they will end like the UYGURS in China are the TURKIC PEOPLE in Russia this is way CENTRAL ASIAN country's won't to UNION with there MILITARY POLITICALLY STRONG TURKISH BROTHERS
@@lyd4712 There is no scientific equivalent to what you say. Central Asian countries have historical ties with Turkey and Azerbaijan, same race, same language, same history, same religion. Currently, Central Asian countries need Turkey more than Turkey needs Central Asian countries. This unification is in the sense of transportation, not in the sense of unification of states. You are so ignorant And impudent Moreover, Turkey's relations with the Central Asian countries are based on equal alliance and cooperation, not on exploitation.Finally, do you really think that the people determine political policies in Central Asia?
@@lyd4712 They both are pretty Turk.
There are recognized Armenian villages that are under Azerbaijani occupation as well. Will they be returned to Armenia?

Excellent objective and to the point coverage, thank you.
Great video
Iranian here. I don't really think "separatism" is the main concern with Azerbaijan Republic taking over Syunik province. The border that Iran and Armenia share holds invaluable strategic importance for trade and defense to Iran and being cut off from Armenia which is a trade partner is not a favorable outcome. Also the current regime in Iran is increasingly worried about the relations between Azerbaijan Republic and Israel and hence doesn't like the idea of having Israel's presence on its north western borders alongside NATO. This is also at a time when the chauvinistic and irredentist rhetoric of the current government in Republic of Azerbaijan is extremely worrying and goes as far as some officials including president Aliyev going as far as calling Armenia "West Azerbaijan".
I would like to add the official position of Islamic Republic (the current regime in Iran) has always been support of the territorial integrity of Republic of Azerbaijan based on internationally recognized borders, it is the change in borders between Iran and Armenia that worries Iran to the point that Azerbaijan and Iran made plans to create a separate corridor going through Iran for connecting Baku to Nakhchivan.
مثل یک آذری ایرانی فکر می کنم که ما ایرانی هستیم ما از جمهوری باکو نیستیم
🇹🇷🤝🏻🇦🇿💪🏻☝🏻
Iran has proven to be the lifeline to Armenia. Once we lose that border, we will cease to exist as we know it and become entirely beholden to our neighbors.
من آذری هستم و اندیشه می کنم که ما ایرانی هستیم
You do not want to make turkey connect with turkic states. That corridor guarantees that. If there was no corridor. Turkey could directly influence and trade with turkic nations of central asia. There are many land swap solutions which favours armenia and guarantees connection to iran. But armenia refused UN plans for that. Russia now controls turkish trade with central asia. A corridor will make turkey stronger in middle east and Asia which other powers do not want.
notice the UN and arab world not going "oh you can't do that, occupation!" for this one
The leader of the Arabic world is Saudi Arabia. Both them and Azerbijan are important oil producing countries. Besides from that Azerbijani are Shia Muslim while Saudi-Arabians are Sunni Muslim so there is no religious reason rather economic reason.

I liked the video. make more snapshots
Its amazing to me that most lovers of armenia sound more radical in their claims than president of armenia
As an Azerbaijani viewer I approve the accuracy of everything said in the video. Very accurate and not biased.
You missed that India also tries to interfere and support Armenia militarily, but in order to do that India needs to strengthen relations with Iran to carry logistics. However this might damage relations with Israel that India values so much, especially now when tensions go high between Iran and Israel.
India can kiss my something.
Since when the Caucasus became their business? Funny chicken curry people.
throughout USSR rules, border disputes were mainly solved by expense of Azerbaijan lands. Especially during 1930s, Stalin regime weren't interested in giving control to muslim-turk majority state (Azerbaijan), rather than loyal Armenia
Love it!

Praying for Armenia and Azerbaijan too- also great vid!
Have just come back from a research trip in Armenia, and truth be told from what we've heard from various officials and local actors, developments since September 2023 paints a sad situation that will likely see the gradual loss of Armenian sovereignty. Armenia plays a diplomatic role in this conflict due to its military incapability, but strategically and diplomatically, it is completely outmatched with little hope of retaliation should Azerbaijan wish to invade. The country is beautiful from Yerevan to its countryside with many local actors and international intermediaries trying to make the best out of this situation, but with its best military hope being materiel sent from India, a preoccupied Iran and Russia, the future for the Armenian people doesn't look hopeful.
Azerbaijan doesn't seem to want to Invade, they have a set of issues that they are trying to solve. As the victor of the latest conflict, it is asking for certain things. Instead of using this as a chance to get a fair deal for itself, Armenian folks are preoccupied with what used to be there's. If they could work out an economic deal and a diplomatic deal that would improve relations with all countries in the region, this would improve Armenia as a whole. Azerbaijan invading doesn't makes sense because what would it do with Armenian towns and cities. Even if those countries help Armenia, Turkey would get involved immediately with what ever they have. This warmongering needs to stop.
@JN-wr9he you don't know what you are talking about, it's about expansionist Turkish and Azeri foreign policy in pursuit of Turkish speaking empire.
@@crazycowboy213 Azerbaijani wants to control Armenian southern territory with the Russian help without Armenian border guards and custom officers, very unrealistic, every country has control and jurisdiction of their territory.

It's worth noting that Armenia is Iran's corridor into Russia and it's concerned that it's access will be cut off it Azerbaijan annexes a corridor to connect to Nakchivan.

The thing is that we have a Church that's like 1400 years old in one of those villages and the Azeris already showed that they dont care about all these ancient stuff as they demolished most of our historic churches and buildings that were located in Artsakh and Naxijevan. Now if they get those lands they'll most likely continue destroying our heritage so that in future there will be no way for us to prove that those were our lands and that Armenians lived there
Maybe they would have been more careful with your heritage if their mosques in occupied lands were not turned into pigsties and cow sheds... What comes around goes around.
its like what the zionists do in palestine its funny to that azerbijan and Israel have close ties together, god be with you and i hope those lands return to their original people
@@Racoons-hi5dhWell, the “Zionists” at least have evidence of their Jewish heritage in the region of Israel today. But the Azeri people (whom they claim are “Turks”) are from Central Asia and Iran, and are not indigenous to the region, at all, they came through invasions and colonies. And... The Azeri people are also not original Turks, as they claim to be, they are actually "turkified" Persians derived from the Persians living in around Central Asia and today's Iran. So basically Persians who adopted Turkic culture and language. Basically the Azeri people are fake people. So yeah, their identity is complicated
Also, I'm not someone from Middle East or Europe just to be clear, so no bias.
Edit: TH-cam has shadowed my comment, it looks like TH-cam love Azerbaijan more
@@Racoons-hi5dhisrael is only for Jews and AZERBAIJANIS is only for TURKS
When people will understand that just because a nation lived 2000 years ago doesn't make that land theirs. Azerbaycan defended those lands in Safevi, Akkoyunlu, and Karakoyunlu times. If Armenians were obsessed that much with their lands, why did they not fight for those lands when enemies came? Also, Armenia converted mosques into barns.
This is an excellent video. Comprehensive, objective and well presented. As an Armenian I have been following the situation very closely and you have covered the situation very well.
Both of these countries have been fighting for a very long time but most news outlets didn't report on it as much as places like Ukraine.

Not that this anything to do with the way actual power brokering works, but in my view, if there is to be any hope to be of an eventual deescalation of tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan, then both nations need to make mutually balanced concessions with their respective exclaves.
Now that Karabakh is under Azerbaijani control, the reasonable thing for Azerbaijan to do is to cede the Nakhchivan Exclave over to Armenia in return. Territories need to be drawn up in a way so as to remove any incentives to continue on fighting.
This video makes me want to drink Lean
There is one small remark worth noticing - Azerbaijani villages werent abandoned and then taken under control by Armenian forces. This villages occupied by Armenian thugs and population were murdered, taken hostage and forced to fleed
I hope that we finally can have peace and focus on our similarities instead of differences.
100% agreed. That region has much much more potential. Besides, we are neighbors and are going to live there for years to come. I hope we reach peace and start seeing each other as neighbors and not enemies.
@@jamesgultekin6244 it’s funny how as soon as everyone lives abroad the similarities are more apparent for allot of people. I moved from Azerbaijan when I was little. Had a gf that was from Ukraine but she was Armenian and even though my mom told me that she had a little bit of difficulties with it she still loved her.

Armenia plays Poland 1939 role
not even remotely related.
Armenia needs to calm down and stop interfering with the Azerbaijanis in order to continue to live in peace. Pashinyan is striving for this, he wants to make peace and live without war. As one Armenin said, if Pashinyan had not agreed to peace in 2020, the Armenian army could have suffered destruction
I saw someone say Armenia is the Poland of the caucuses and yeah I agree
Both stupid. Poland wrongfully held German land and refused to give it back to Germany since they thought Germany was too weak and that Britian would protect their stupid claims and ended getting reckt when Germany got stronger...
Armenia illegally occupied Azeri land the EU and Russia begged Armenia for years to return it so their could be a peace deal... Armenia arrogantly refused since they thought Azerbaijan was too weak and that Russia would protect their stupid claims and got reckt when Azerbaijan got stronger.

@@thelobbyofhobbies3244 Nope that is actually the propaganda itself, they want you to believe it is fucked up because of Stalin but that is far from the case, It is fucked up because 30 years ago Armenia invaded Karabakh and ethnically cleansed hundereds of thausands of Azeris from Karabakh, only than region become majority Armenian.
@@thelobbyofhobbies3244 You get it right, also it was russia who were arming and encouraging the armenian nationalists to invade karabag. They have even assasinated an armenian president who wanted to sign peace treaty. russia knew they can control armenia as long as they need military protection.
A land swap in the 90s would have fixed this but we are in the bad ending universe so war it is.
If their could be peace and if they were to start working together, I honestly believe that would benefit both countries. War and Warmongering between the two countries has stunted both of their developments.
What you're failing to see, is that it's not in Azerbaijan's/Aliyev's desire for Armenia to benefit from peace.
@@grenzclobberbottom738That’s why they literally occupied our lands for like previous 30 years?
Because before the arrival of the Russian Empire, Armenia was captured by the Azerbaijani Khanates and ruled by them for about 50-100 years, and it is from there that the name Karabakh, this is the name of the khanate! After the death of Nadir Shah in 1746, Azerbaijan became independent and was divided into different
Khanates, and the Erivan Khanate and the Zangizur Khanate were founded there, as well as the Karabakh Khanate, it is from this point of view that Azerbaijan really claims the whole of Armenia and the northern regions of Iran, so that the Azerbaijani khanates in 1748 became independent of the Iranian Shahs, although the Iranian shahs were also ethnic Azerbaijani Turkomans!
Armenia could not be “captured by Azerbaijani Khanates” because there simply was no Armenia back then. Check your facts.

Great coverage, except in some parts, the statements fall short. For instance, "... and another factor is Azerbaijan's relationship with Israel." You assume the reader would understand what's implied here, but not everyone is an expert on the Middle East. "Azerbaijan's good neighborly relations with Israel" would fit better here. Keep up the good work
I hope one day Armenians and Turks have open borders just like European nations, but there needs to be more stability in the region.
America created peace in europe by just forcing everyone down. Lets see if it will even last
They can never have these kinds of borders, there were lots of conflicts between Türkiye and Armenia
Let's be honest. If Armenia wants to achieve peace, it should make an agreement with the Turks, namely Turkey and Azerbaijan. Not with third countries that try to keep the tension alive for their own interests, feed on this tension and send Armenian youth to di* for this. After World War I, the story of the Turks was based on heroism, while the story of the Armenians stood still on victimization. Armenians living in prosperity in Europe and America are very insistent on the continuation of the situation of Armenians living in poverty in Armenia, but none of them return to their beloved (!) country and fight for it. How many more centuries do they plan to proceed with unproven accusations against the Turks, with a claim of genocide whose number of so-called victims increases geometrically every year? Even though Turkey has repeatedly invited they to do this, they are not willing to confront or sue Turkey, but they want the whole world to recognize this issue. It is very important to read the words of the first Armenian prime minister, Ovanes Kacaznuni, on this issue. Although I heard that Pashinyan has started talking about the truth lately. Ultimately, I hope that Armenians living in Armenia will now realize what really harms them and can clearly define their borders and start moving forward to become a strong country.
What's the meaning of capturing few abandoned villages?

This is a horrible “report” leaving out large swaths of political facts. Azerbaijan’s dictator Aliyev doesn’t recognize the lawful international territorial integrity of Armenia. The exchange of the land is tied to that issue, and it’s not a done deal. Many Armenians are against this because meanwhile Aliyev has Azerbaijan occupying 8 other territories and they were not mentioned. Also you left out that the European Union is reviewing an international case against Azerbaijan and preparing for sanctions. Azerbaijan will no longer have its own oil around 2028, so I don’t know what that report you read is about. Iran can not allow Azerbaijan to connect with Turkey, that would make them the regional power. That’s not going to happen. Not only because Azeris and Iranians hate eachother but also because the west doesn’t want an east west trade route through the Caucasus, that would create a Turkic Asian power imbalance over the west and take trade routes into Europe. The west isn’t going to allow that no matter how much your Turk friendly report dreams.
The villages were not abandoned. They were captured and ethnically cleansed by Armenians. Dozens of civilians were killed (burned alive) by the invaders. Armenians should be grateful Azerbaijan decided to rethrn its villages peacefully.
Peaceably? They used Turkish and Syrian hitmen to obtain that land. Not forgetting that they do not even want to return Nakhichevan to Armenia.
@@sbl0436are you schizophrenic? Nakhchivan is internationally recognized territory of Azerbaijan. The reason you are being so destroyed and abandoned by everyone in the world is because of your total ignorance.
As an Armenian, many people in my country dont want to give land at all, but i would rather give it than have it annexed
It's called border demarcation.
@@haykk5375 yeah, border demarcation requires that both sides give up claims on the others territory, regardless of who controls it. They both have to agree who owns what, that's what border demarcation means.
armenia was 100 years old
With armenians you need special approach. Armenians have shown that nice ralking with them doesnt work. So we are speaking their language. Its more fair deal than they deserve. We will still ask for war reparations
There 2 easy solutions here (easy on paper I should say)
Either the 2 countries unify in either a formal union like the EU or a full on union of the 2 nations
Or
Arminia gets the region they want (I’m not even gonna try to type that lol) with a land bridge and Azerbaijan gets a part of the corridor to connect to their exclave
What region?
@@shafsteryellow 0:23 the war was named after the region that’s the best way I can describe it without having attempt to spell it lol
Edit: it’s on the screen I’m dumb 🙄🤦♂️
