Some additions: - Iran is concerned about Azerbaijan getting bigger considering there's a significant minority of Azeri's living in Iran that could eventually demand to be unified with Azerbaijan like Azerbaijan now claims Qarabag. - Armenia has received/bought weapons from other powers as well like India, France and Greece. It's not clear how much support they would be willing to offer as they all have their own interests in the region. - Azerbaijan could potentially count on the help of Israel as well considering their alliance with Azerbaijan and their interests in keeping Iran down. edit: ohh before I forget - Azerbaijan is a major trade link between China and Europe as further north through Russia and south through Iran is not possible due to sanctions. Azerbaijan is an alternative gas and oil provider for Europe. Azerbaijan and the Caspian Sea are also a vital trade link between Russia and Iran/India. A conflict could severely complicate that or make it impossible. - Ukraine might profit indirectly as Iran would no longer be able to provide Russia with (as much) support as it is currently doing.
@@socialistrepublicofvietnam1500 As far as I know Israel had normal relations with Armenia up until the point Israel backed Azerbaijan in 2020. Israel and Azerbaijan always had good ties and Azerbaijan has bought and used Israeli weapons against Armenia. There's been rumors that Azerbaijan gave Israel permission to use their airfields in case they felt the need to bomb Iran at some point.
@@socialistrepublicofvietnam1500also of note is that Azerbaijan is (or at least used to be) Israel's largest oil supplier, which gave Israel an economic incentive to side with the Azeris, though with the Israeli discovery and development of their gas fields in recent years this reliance might have faded a little.
Unfortunately, the West didn't really care about Armenia that much, so they had no choice than to rely on Russia and, to a minor degree, Iran. In fact, geopolitically that would be the natural axis for Armenia to be in, if the population where not pro-democracy.
@@filipe5722 The problem with Armenia is that Turkey supports its rival, Azerbaidjan, and has complicated relations. Because of this, it's hard for Western countries to give a real military support to Armenia as maintaining Turkey in NATO is more valuable than having Armenia. As a French citizen, I wish Armenia was supported, but I would understand if the support doesn't go very far. Turkey is too important to take the risk of souring relations just to help a 3 millions inhabitants country.
@@filipe5722 This guy clearly got his facts mixed up. Armenia started leaning towards the West AFTER CSTO outright ignored their obligation to help its member nations in times of conflict. Just like the Warsaw Pact that preceded it, CSTO seemed better suited to putting down civilian protesters than armed soldiers it seems.
@@guillaumeroussel8633 Yup, that's exactly it. Armenia sits in the crossroads between two opposing axes: Turkey-Azerbaijan and Russia-(Georgia)-Iran. The first one is hostile towards Armenia, so they had no other choice than to rely on the second one. The only hope now is that Russian influence over the Black Sea retreats with a Ukrainian victory and the EU/NATO take more interest in the Caucasus, allowing Armenia to seek a guarantor. Still, that will likely need Georgia cooperation, so it's still a big gamble for Armenia.
@@filipe5722 There are a lot of Armenians in the US. But, Armenia sided with Russia-Iran. Not great geopolitics for western countries. Azerbaijan is allies with Turkey and to a degree with the West. But also, getting close to Russia. US is officially neutral.
This is the craziest conflict i have ever seen....Now US, France, India and Iran together are supporting Armenia...Israel ,Turkey and Pakistan supporting Azerbaijan...

@@hakant.7242You are "slightly" wrong, Russia has no borders with Afghanistan (they are only 3370 kilometers apart). And the lack of borders did not prevent them from defending South Korea from the communists.
I worked in Armenia for a short time. There's a brandy factory in Yerevan called Ararat, where Stalin and Churchill used to order brandy. They have a huge barrel there called the Peace Barrel, signed by politicians from both sides. It was made in 2001 and will only be opened when a peaceful settlement is agreed over Nagorno-Karabakh.
@@tywinlannister it literally is Armenian. Before Turkic people migrated to Anatolia, Armenians were the sole guardians of Ararat for thousands of years. Colonizers don't get to rewrite history just because they removed indigenous people from their homes and lands.
There’s no such thing as “indigenous people” lmao. Humans have been fighting each other over land for THOUSANDS OF YEARS!!!!!!! People have been moving around for THOUSANDS OF YEARS. Ararat has been Turkish for 1000 years since the SELJUKS. We won it by WAR. That’s how it was back then and now. Stop telling yourself lies. Do you think there were people before “Armenians” in that lands? Yes their probably were just as their were in EVERY OTHER PIECE OF LAND GENIUS. Like wow have you never read a history book? Or a Geographic book? Or a scientific book? Any book? Wow cannot believe delusion here.
Azerbaijan has the upper hand by far but don't want to stir too much trouble to avoid coming under sanction of any kind cause they rely massively on trading with the West. They'll probably try to slowly but surely get the minimum their want (the enclave and a passage on the south of Armenia) and stop at that.
Azerbaijan has likely been carefully weighing its options. Wars can take a while so even if Russia couldn't intervene right now, the situation could change in the future. Azerbaijan probably wanted to make sure that Russia was going to be tied up in Ukraine for a while. Especially since Russia would probably like to intervene in an Azeri-Armenian conflict. Russia's reputation as a major world power has taken a hit since the botched and now stagnant invasion of Ukraine. Being able to protect Armenia would allow Russia to regain a small amount of its credit as a military power.
This situation kind of reminds me of the Chaco War between Bolivia and Paraguay. 2 post-imperial countries that had a border dispute and ended up fighting over the land :/
Your statement is critically incorrect - " Azerbaijan always had an upper hand". Karabag was under armenian accusation for nearly 20 years and Armenia had an upper hand. Do your homework and make your statement right!
You forgot one important thing. One of the main reasons Armenia won the war in the 90's was thanks to the money (and also volunteers) sent back by the very rich Armenian diaspora around the world. But by now, Azerbaijan's oil wealth is greater than that which could be spared by wealthy Armenians abroad; plus the current generation is one more generation removed from their roots in Armenia, so they would probably help less than last time.
As a Balkan Turk in the situation of war I will help Azerbaijan. Also Turkey and Azerbaijan are both Turks. Like Turkestan Turks. One Nation Seven state.
also most terrifying things happened in 90's to azerbaijani people living in the region such as Hojali Massacre done by armenian army, but they covered up really well during that time thanks to wealthy armenian diaspora as you mentioned

Armenia is the first Christian country, Indo-European nation, natives of Armenian Highland. Modern Turkey is used to be Kingdom of Armenia and Greece in antient times.

I also think it’s interesting to note that it was actually a war in 2014 but Russia intervened very quickly… in 2020 they were much slower even drawing international outcry to step in and this was well before their invasion of Ukraine. I’m sure part of it was Geopolitics but in 2018 Armenia also elected a new leader who was a bit more western oriented/less of the Russian sphere. I always found it interesting the difference in Russian response after that it always made me wonder if Putin was perhaps much less willing to fulfill his obligation when the leader was not as friendly…. But yeah I’m deeply concerned for Armenia, they just want to be left alone and live and this century old land dispute (that the Soviet Union could’ve resolved and never did) is basically a ticking time bomb. It may not be tomorrow but I don’t see how full invasion isn’t coming.
I was actually impressed with how they managed things in 2020, considering that they were kind of late, and they even got their helicopter taken down. They ended up involving Turkey just a little bit, but they were still the main broker. But whatever Azerbaijan decides to do now, Armenia will be at their mercy. Russia won't be able to do a thing about it.
Of course a westerner christian is supporting Armenia and seeing them as the oppressed here. "But yeah I’m deeply concerned for Armenia, they just want to be left alone" if they want to be left alone they had so many opportunities to make peace, to un-occupy Azerbaijani territory, but they don't and they don't want to cease their invasion in Azerbaijan without force. So Azerbaijan is the bad guy for trying to get their lands back from Armenian invaders? Oh poor you, you must be so concerned about the poor old invaders. The reason their invasion was successful was because they had Russia behind their back. Now Turkey is behind Azerbaijan, and Armenia won't be able to terrorize them any longer. Justice will be served, hot or cold. That is Azerbaijan's choice now.
It sounds crazy, but the only sensible way for Armenia to "be left alone" in this geography is to have a deal with turks, which armenians completely refuse.
No matter what Russia does it is always the bad guy! Russia did fantastic in 2020, it did intervene to make the two sit down and talk peace, it kinda forced them to stop the war, it did also warn that it will intervene if either countries tries to invade the other, karabakh is a different story as both countries have legit reasons to claim it at theirs, those who have made the war possible are western and Nato countries, Armenia's government was backed by the west since the revolution of 2014, and Azerbaijan was fully supported by the strongest nato countries in the region, Turkey and Israel. But smh Russia is to blame, when they were the ones to stop the war TWICE, and those who have fed the war are now blaming it all on Russia!!! The only thing that stopped the lunatics from involving their citizens into a full scale bloody war was the Russian influence, the west saw that Russia is pretty much occupied now and they started to put gas on the fire. Russia isn't always the bad guy, it has been the good guy many times in history, the west isn't always right and have caused many wars and disasters in countless countries. Stop seeing everything as black or white.
It's also worth noting that Azerbaijan is an increasingly important country to the EU since Azerbaijan has started supplying gas to the EU, replacing some of the gas cut-off from Russia. If Azerbaijan did invade Armenia, any European response would have to consider the Azerbaijani reaction too.
@Intreoo, The amount of gas Azerbaijan sends the EU is quite small. It accounts for a very small percentage of what Europe imports. It isn't nearly enough of a figure to have any effect on EU foreign policy. The reason EU won't respond isn't the gas, they won't respond because they can't respond? Aside from a condemnation what exactly can they do? They don't have the military capability to get there let alone do something about it. I don't think the Azeris give a rat's arse what Europe thinks. I don't think the Armenians are stupid enough to believe Europe will change the outcome of anything for them.

@@BeautySavesWorld You do realize that no one cares about that right? Ukraine is not getting support because someone cares about people, but because the American elite has a lot to lose if the Ukraine were to fall.
@@BeautySavesWorld I don't know where you got this information; perhaps from Armenian schoolbooks where they teach you about history. From this information, one might infer that Armenia is older than Greece. That's an interesting perspective. Let me provide some enlightenment on the Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) issue. If Nagorno Karabakh has been a disputable area, why did this happen: 'The Armenian-occupied territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh were areas of Azerbaijan, situated outside the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (NKAO), which were occupied by the ethnic Armenian military forces of the breakaway Republic of Artsakh (or the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic) with military support from Armenia, from the end of the First Nagorno-Karabakh War (1988-1994) to 2020'? I agree; I have seen this photo. But I actively follow Armenian Telegram channels where I have seen the same things, more brutal or less. It doesn't matter; it happens in every war. So at least our soldiers killed someone who was armed. But in the first Nagorno-Karabakh War, you killed children, pregnant women, old people. Did you forget about The Khojaly massacre. (The Khojaly massacre was the mass killing of Azerbaijani civilians by Armenian forces and the 366th CIS regiment in the town of Khojaly on 26 February 1992. The event became the largest single massacre throughout the entire Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Khojaly was an Azerbaijani-populated town of some 6,300 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast of Azerbaijan SSR, also housing the region's only airport in 1992. The town was subject to daily shelling and total blockade by Armenian forces during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War. Without a supply of electricity, gas, or water, it was defended by the local forces consisting of about 160 lightly armed men. The Armenian forces, along with some troops of the 366th CIS regiment, launched an offensive in early 1992, forcing almost the entire Azerbaijani population of the enclave to flee and committing 'unconscionable acts of violence against civilians' as they fled.) It's important to note that Karabakh is recognized by all countries as a part of Azerbaijan, not Armenia and no one recognized latest president elections in 'Artsakh'. Here is the references. All things that I have mentioned is true facts and I only use trustable sources not local history books. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian-occupied_territories_surrounding_Nagorno-Karabakh en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khojaly_massacre
I'll explain how things are now. Azerbaijan is actively restoring destroyed houses and historical monuments, as well as building new buildings. From time to time, Azerbaijan returns the refugees (Azerbaijanis) of the 90s back to their homes. The state also offers citizens of Armenian origin to return back to Karabakh, take Azerbaijani citizenship and live peacefully. But it is not profitable for Armenia, because now Armenia has a chance to somehow increase its population.
Eh... really? :D I don't care about Azeris or Armenians and their strungle, but I can smell shit in your post. Take your honey moon story with ya and sell it to someone without a brain kiddo.
Last part is completely wrong, Armenians fled Karabakh for the same reasons Azerbaijanis did in the 90's. Because most Armenians do not want to live in a state that actively hates them.
Armenia didn't send "arms" to Ukraine. They sent humanitarian aid to Ukraine a few days ago. Armenia itself needs arms to defend itself against azerbaijan and turkey.
If Armenia wants to defend itself against us Turks, it must correct the stupid laws in its constitution that claim rights on the lands of the Republic of Turkey and the Republic of Azerbaijan and say that they will establish a great Armenia, otherwise it will take 3 days for the Republic of Turkey and the Republic of Azerbaijan to occupy the entire territory of Armenia
I mean, sort of, but basically everything before 1991 can be summed up with: Armenians and Azeris are mixed together in the region and they hate each other. Ethnic groups that hate each other being geographically co-mingled is common enough that Westerners don't really care whose ancestors invaded who, or who launched a crusade/jihad against the other several hundred years ago. We just chalk that up to "they have been killing each other for a long time" and start looking for when the paperwork (i.e. treaties, imperial provincial law, declarations of independence, etc.) starts.
It never was Azerbaijan….It has been Armenian lands for thousands of years until Turkic people from Central Asia migrated west to the Caucasus, Anatolia, and the Middle East. Hence why Turkey exists in Anatolia and why Azerbaijan exists in the caucasus today. Most of the South Caucasus historically belongs to Armenia
This is even more tragic considering what a vast empire Armenia used to be at some points in history. Controlling all of Syria, parts of Turkey, Iudea (Israel), Georgia, Azerbaijan and more.

Russia might have a great relationship with Armenia but that doesn't mean they don't also have one with Azerbaijan. Russia and Azerbaijan are quite close.

Do you really believe Azerbaijan would have welcomed the presence of Russian peacekeepers if they really believed that Russia supported Armenia in the war. Come on! The 3 countries are ex-Soviet States and they have a complex past and as such a complex relationship. Russia intervened diplomatically in the last conflict to prevent unnecessary bloodshed and to help develop a path to peace, which they did. Unfortunately, Armenia is currently refusing to honor the tri-lateral agreement they signed together with Russia and Azerbaijan. According to the agreement, Armenia should relinquish most of Nagorno-Karabakh to Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan has every right to retake their internationally recognised territory in Nagorno-Karabakh from the illegal occupiers. However, I would not support direct military action into mainland Armenia.
No one would. Turkey made their military equipment sales on that condition and that's why csto is not obligated to help because Azerbaijan hasn't attacked any Armenian territory
Hi. First of all if UN recognizes a land to another country,it doesnt mean it is part of the country.

There are a small amount of Kurds, Yezidis, and Assyrians in Armenia. Also what do you mean by "Turkish population lands" when Turkey isn't even Turkish land. If you look at it by single ethnic groups, Greeks were a majority or plurality in Istanbul, Izmir, Trabzon and all of Eastern Thrace until 1915. Armenians were a majority of plurality in most of Eastern Anatolia except the coast around Trabzon which again was predominantly Greek. Baku wasn't even majority Azerbaijani until after 1920. There were 2.5 million Greeks and 1.8 million Armenians in Turkey now combined there's less than 100k you tell me why. You can also tell me why the percentage of every minority group in Azerbaijan from the lezgins to Georgians, to talyish, to the Armenians has continuously dropped for 100 years? You know since Azerbaijan is SOOOO accepting of other cultures.
This is misleading. when Armenia first took the region. they didn't stop at the parts that were predominantly Armenian, they also took all the surrounding Azeri parts and they forced out Azeris from the area. Roughly 700 thousand Azeri's were kicked out of their homes if I recall. Taking the territory back was also about returning people to their homes.

Azerbaijan needs to back off and stop bullying Armenia. (No, I'm not saying Armenia never did anything wrong). Most of Nagorno-Karabakh does not want to be part of Azerbaijan. Seems like Azerbaijan is the aggressor. Why does Armenia not have more support? Because it's in a worser position?
No one really talking about the fact that azerbejan never existed before 1918. It was a made up country by Joseph Stalin to house the mongol-turkic tribes mixed with Persians. And then Gifted Artsakh and Nakhichevan to this newly created country because Stalin's wife was pro-azeei. And also the Russians always make decisions to appease the turks. Armenia is currently 29,800sq km in size when previously it was up to 300,000sq km. Armenians liberated their Artsakh in a fair fight in early 90s but Armenia failed to push international organisations for recognition.
LMAOOO. Thats the funniest joke ever heard. like Armenia ever existed before 1918 ? read about the articles how Russian Tsar is moving the Armenians to caucasians so that they could cut the connection between Turkey and other Turkic countries.
So Armenia hosts joint military exercises with NATO, sends help to Ukraine and in the same time is hoping that Russia will come to their aid? A bit of cognitive dissonance, so to say.
you got the last part wrong, armenia isn't hoping for russias help at all, Russia has backstabbed us and never helped us, they sold weapons to azeris and they are pretty much on azeris side (because they're with turkey now and turkey is basically brother of azeri), Armenia is fully trying to lean on to the west now but it is hard to do it instantly or we will become another ukraine and this time russia will really mess us up...
This a very lopsided narratives. Starting with NK is essentially and legally part of Azerbaijan. And the fact that lachin border was agreed upon at 2020 peace treaty with access of Nakchavan.

Bro, actually this topic doesn require deep research. There are simple facts to be addressed firstly, as those lands belong to Azerbaijan and even Armenia itself doesn recognize seperatist state. If everyone starts claiming ownership on the lands which their ancestors allegedly lived thousands years ago what would happen in the world 😂 simply, armenians like russians want s to occupy Azerbaijani lands by playing ethnic minority card which is fated to fail. All world knows armenia is ally of Russia, and by support of Russia they could hold those lands under occupation, as russia gets weaker day by day and becoming more dependant on Turkiye, Armenian seperatist entity doesn stand a chance against modernized NATO style Azerbaijani army :)
@@AtarahMata Russia wouldn let it.. don't believe these tales. Russia is in control of even current "pro Western" government. Armenian "western" president helping russians to build military equipments to kill ukranians.

As a result economical relations between two countries doubled, tripled in last years which is statistical fact. Armenians can't go against Russians interests, it is only Show is crafted by russians to escape sansctions.
This is just a mess IMO as this region is full of a lot of ethnic groups that are just scattered but were under different bigger powers centuries ago like with Mongols I think, Ottomans and then Russia - after the USSR collapsed they became too unstable and just like in Yugoslavia it became aggressive which lands these eventual countries will have when they aren't independent for more than maybe even a millennium ago; there needs to be a long term peace agreement with this like between Greece and Turkey, albeit it may also need population swapping which is seen unfavorably now.
None of those were ever in Armenia’s control. The country was too poor from day one to afford a decent military budget of any kind. And all of Armenia’s neighbors are either sworn enemies, or negligent abusers who simply keep them on a chain for their own interests.
I feel like a new international military convention should be passed around attributing full fiscal responsability for destroyed properties and infrastructure within a warzone , regardless of control, to the sovreign party who destroyed it. liability doubles if it was destroyed in a 'non-formalized "CoNfliCt" '.
Folks are hating on Azerbaijan here, claiming they should be sanctioned and Armenia helped and all kinds of stuff... On what basis? They (maybe with some very small exceptions) aren't occupying de jure Armenian land. Their military moves are consistent with the military moves it would make to liberate Nagarno-Karabakh, which is de-jure Azerbaijan's from Armenia; a move they have the right to make. The only thing you can go by with is a human rights record but if we know two things, it's that a human rights record is incredibly hard to base, AND that sanctions are an incredibly ineffective tool to create human rights improvement. The alternative, offering Ukraine style support to Armenia would totally alienate Azerbaijan, and again, that wouldn't be rooted in fighting a violation of international law; BUT THE OPPOSITE, it would in effect be becoming an accomplice in the violation of international law. This is NOT a move that spurs confidence in international partners, this is NOT a move that advance support for a rules based international order. The commies created a catch 22 in the borders of their former subjects. These borders were designed to create war. The only way to avoid wars is an adherence to international law. And that means some nations, like Armenia, get screwed out of their ethnic lands. So be it. It is not the arbitrary Putin style land grabs where if you give a finger he takes a hand. It is a land grab based on decisions made many decades ago, and the situation is not repeatable. That is why diplomacy is the only option for Armenia to gain any kind of victory
Western countries can be interested in mutual relations with Armenia, because of Russian factor in South Caucasus is very small now and balance of power is disrupted. And because of that Americans opened industrial area in armenian-azerbaijanis border. I think that the role of regulator in this conflict can take USA. For Armenia there isn’t much time to get stronger, but with help of interested countries like USA and Iran confilct can delayed for a moment to give Armenia a chance to replay.
It is seem very easy to sit and write in front of the laptop at warm and silent home whatever your mind is thinking. But believe me your murdered troops also thought like that before they left to sleep at yerablur. The war is not for you, you cant fight, you can only kill people innocent kids and women as in KHOJALY 26 February in 1992 . you *rmenian predict to sit behind the supporting countries and cry from there.
A landlocked country cannot receive enough support of any kind from a power from thousands of miles away. Maybe from Georgian ports but I am not sure if it is ok to carry that much weapon in the black sea due to Montreaux convention. I think It is better for Armenia and Armenians to settle down the dispute and improve the relations with the neighbouring countries. Many people misses the point that Armenia has 4 neighbouring countries and they have bad relations with three of them including Georgia which is indeed a Christian country. Such international relations is a limitation for any country to prosper. About Russian influence in region, I can still say that it is much more than the US they still have cost advantage in case of a usage of force. Also an action against Azerbaijan may result gas shortages or at least price shocks in Europe so it is unlikely. Under these conditions it is better for Armenians and Armenian state to stop playing the victim and face what they did to regional countries in the past so they are not welcome in 75% of their neighbouring states. Also this type of action would decrease Armenians' dependence on regional or global powers to secure Armenia's territories. I do not say that improving relations is at no cost but still it is better than relaying on others.
@@neutrino4853 In 21 century countries conducting weapon transportation and not only weapon primarily use air connection as like Azeris with Il76 from Israel and talking about sea ports and land borders is not correct in 21 century. Improving relations is good, but only when in region will be balance between powers. Russia now has interests with Azerbaijan and Turkey it is knowed from everyone. But Russian factor americans want to break down and for that they can use Armenia. For great power balance in region is everything for US especially. Armenia wil try to normalise relations but only when requests from Turkey and Azerbaijan will be lesser than now and when Armenia will strenghthen its hard power.
@@ParuyrS I believe you are not counting the cost of air transportation. This is a huge parameter. If US wants to ship arms to Armenia for some reason it will be costly and who is going to pay for it? Armenian economy is not in a good shape and also not only Russia but also US is occupied with Ukraine war. Apart from the eastern europe, US has to focus on China and indo&west-pacific power shifts. I am afraid to say but it is not a lucrative deal for US to donate arms to a region in which their power projection capabilities will unlikely surpass the superpower in the region or say the least the regional powers such as Iran and Turkey. For such a scenario to become successful, Iran is critical for ground transportation. However, even if the US and the Iran decide to support Armenia I have doupts that they will collaborate on that purpose because of the Iranian illogical theocratic regime. By the way, to break the Russian overhand in caucasus they dont have to ally with Armenia, they can just support Ukraine so Russians will be much more occupied with the ongoing war. Also supporting Armenia in such conditions is costly, don't forget it is not wise to back the wrong horse. For Armenian state I cannot see a short term solution in favor of them. The least damaging international policy seems to negociate on demands and make them in a plausible level and then compromise. Another scenario can be formally allying with Iran and it could work for short term but this would be the last straw in between Armenian and western relations and damage it for a couple of decades.
@@neutrino4853 Armenia don’t have much choice in the countries to buy weapon for understandable reasons, but for example India can afford to help Armenia because of Pakistani factor and not only India. I don’t consider official help from US as a weapon transportation, but with their mediation Armenia can negotiate with Azerbaijan at the end. US is a country of big caliber and for them multitasking never was and is a problem if you read world history. And if we consider last peace agenda between Saudi Arabia and Iran for them possible zone of influence is essential in this region. Armenian economy now is being strengthened , but if we compare Armenia and Azerbaijan in numbers its obvious that azeris are ahead. Azeri’s inner political situation now isn’t good and they can’t afford many casualties in future war because of domestic political problems. They now work to scare Armenia with muscles to have more concessions at the table of negotiations. About Iran mentality of the last part 20 century is not proper because in foreign policy after death of Khomeini 1989 their foreign policy was oriented more secular way but in inner policy i agree they are religious. Armenia can use red lines of Iran considered with borders, because if Zangezur coridor will be opened Iran will lost 200 mln market and its against their national interests. In this vein Armenia has chances. With helping Ukraine US can’t low the influence of Russia through Azerbaijan and Turkey because they are in the same “basket”. But Armenia can diversify power balance. But i already mentioned that i truly disbelief about weapon help from US. Iran will not help with the situation of Nagorno-Karabakh, but Armenia should use Iran to the issue of Zangezur’s corridor.
South Azerbaijan is NOT Iran. The Azerbaijani Turks have endured years of oppression by the Persian government, depriving them of their rights. Azerbaijani Turks are unwavering in their solidarity with their brothers and sisters in Azerbaijan, and they anticipate a future where they will achieve freedom and reunite with Azerbaijan in the near future. 🇦🇿❤🇦🇿❤🇹🇷🇦🇿❤🇦🇿❤🇹🇷

As an Azerbaijani, I would like to make some remarks. There is not any land in Azerbaijan called Nagorno-Karabakh. We have Karabakh region and its mountainous surrounding. I don’t know why you used multiple times “occupied” word instead of “liberated”, I would like to clarify that we haven’t occupied any land of Armenia. We have liberated our occupied territories by Armenia during 1st Karabakh War and restored our sovereignty. Furthermore, Russian peacekeepers in Lachin corridor didn’t leave to join Russian army in Ukraine. After the capitulation of Armenia, as a result of 2nd Karabakh war, in the statement that was signed by the Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia there was a clause stating that Lachin corridor will be under control of peacekeepers only until the alternative road is established. We established this road and took control of Lachin corridor in a legit way. There’s no siege, no humanitarian crisis in Karabakh region of Azerbaijan where Armenian citizens of Azerbaijan currently residing in!
@@AtarahMata what kind of voting are you talking about? The one (“referendum”) that was held in 1991 in our sovereign state and boycotted by local Azerbaijanis?? How legitimate could it be? The majority of the population of this territory have always been Azerbaijanis. Armenian population started to settle in there after 1813 brought by Russian tsars from Syria and etc. As for your last question, it shows how inadequate you are to speak with. I don’t think you are fully aware of international laws. We don’t intend to occupy any country’s internationally recognized territory. We are not in favor of war. We want sustainable peace in the South Caucasian region!
@@AtarahMata Armenian people have already self-determinated and established their own state (current Republic of Armenia) in ancient Azerbaijani land. Please, find another place in this world to establish another state of yours. Why not in France, Marseille or USA California? There are more Armenians than are in Armenia, with your logic 😉
@@AtarahMata What a stupid argument this is! Russia was empire back then. Do you know what empire means? It became empire by invading other countries. How can you say it was originally Russian land?? Armenia also was a part of that empire 😂 So you reckon Russia has a right to invade Armenia too? 🤦♂️ Why should we go to Iran? Both Northern and Southern Azerbaijan (currently northern Iran) is our motherland. It was lost as a result of Russia-Iran war. However, we still don’t claim that we need to regain those territories from Iran. We respect every single country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity!

Best of luck to Armenians. Some of the best people Ive met. Donated $20k collectively for my cancer treatment. I know about the war and the genocidal Azerbaijanies
The title feels like its misleading. According to international law, the region of Karabakh is a part of Azerbaijan. As of right now, all of Azerbaijan's military operations are taking place inside Azerbaijan. Armenia is not being invaded. Armenian troops *inside* Azerbaijan are being attacked. These are facts.
As often happens, the analysis is not the most accurate. As the conflict with the West escalates, Russia seeks to enlist the support of the “South.” One of the important partners in this for them is Turkey. For Russia now, neutrality and trade with Turkey are very important, so they agreed to cede part of their influence in the Caucasus. In the 2020 war, they bought Turkey’s neutrality in the war between Russia and Ukraine. Turkey located its military bases in Azerbaijan, Turkey’s presence in NATO does not bother Russia at all. Now Russia really needs trade relations with Turkey, so they are ready to create the "Zangezur corridor" together. In return, Turkey will help Russia continue to circumvent Western sanctions. Armenia and Azerbaijan are just puppets in this game.
Haha Azerbaijan is a puppet?) we want our rightful lands back and gonna get it by playing political game. And, we are planning to benefit from trade routes as an transit country. That's why opening of Zangezur corridor is in interest of many countries included China in first place. We have common interests aligned in a high level with Turkiye, but it doesn mean we are puppet. During the time Turkiye and Israel had bad relations, we kept our ties strong with Israel and export them oil in return of high tech military equipments. If we were willing to be puppet, it would be much easier to lean towards Russia than Turkiye. But, we chose our side - if we want to stay independent and not be like poor Armenia we need to be sided with Turkiye even though it was very diffucult in the early years of independence that's why we lost our lands in expense of our freedom. Armenians got our lands but lost their independence and become very dependent on Russia. We signed oil contracts with West against of Russian interestes in order to keep our independence and develop economically. After all these, well articulated people call us Puppet. Pls , appreciate the fact that as an small and newborn country we have well crafted foreign policy which helping us to get stronger day by day. We appreciate the support of Turkiye, Israel and some friendly countries but in politics every player has own interests. E.g Azerbaijan is a key player in Turkiye's political agenda in Asia, helps Turkiye building ties with other Turkic countries. As, former Soviet countries and advantage of geographical location, Azerbaijan can do it. In return we get support from Türkiye and etc..
That is why I think Azerbaijan IS going to invade Armenia. Azerbaijan and Armenia are clearly aware of this game that is between Russia and Turkey. But since Iran is starting to get involved and Russia is busy with Ukraine, Azerbaijan might have the chance to invade Armenia and get Karabakh back. (I don't think they'll ever fully invade Armenia. They'll probably take some land and demand Karabakh and Zangazur Corridor to be opened) So, if Azerbaijan gets Karabakh and Zangazur Corridor, they'll probably stop being aggressive towards Armenia and their land. Which would mean that they won't be a puppet any longer. Armenia has already started resisting Russian control. They have been getting supplied from India and France with arms. So, I think these two countries are about to do what they want without the permission of their parents. (Which might either ruin both of them or make Azerbaijan win)
You're making ridiculous analyzes because you don't know that Turkey and Russia are historical rivals. Türkiye looks after its own interests. Many of you forget this, but at the very beginning of the war, Turkey helped Ukraine as much as it could, while no Western state helped Ukraine in order not to upset relations with Russia because Ukraine would lose in advance. Having stated from the beginning that I am someone who does not like Erdogan, I can only laugh at those who think that Erdogan and Putin are friends. The men who always fought against each other in Syria and Libya are suddenly declared friends by a high school war expert.
@@barskayhan2691 They are rivals but not enemies. The enemy for Russia is the West. And the West for Russia in the Caucasus is a much worse scenario than Turkey. The hostility in Syria does not bother Russia at all. Where war is needed, where mutually beneficial partnership is needed. In Ukraine and Syria, Turkey has its own ambitions. Turkey helps Ukraine, but also helps Russia economically. Turkey periodically initiates negotiations in a manner beneficial to Russia. Turkey plays its own game.
@@gl8272 Explaining the political preferences of these countries through Putin, Zelensky, and Erdoğan alone can lead to misunderstandings. Turkey, of course, follows a balanced foreign policy, but there are also historical reasons for its initial support for Ukraine, just like Serbia's policy at the beginning of the war. In other words, it speaks to realpolitik, but there's also a background to consider. I am evaluating the situation historically. When I open the map and look at events from the last five hundred years, it becomes clear that incidents like the passage of grain ships don't hold much significance. Just a few years ago, the deaths of dozens of Turkish soldiers due to a Russian airstrike, for example, is a politically much more significant event. This event is known by everyone in Turkey just like shot down Russian jet(by Turkey) known by everyone in Russia. Despite this, it's not possible for Erdoğan to pursue a policy based on it. Even though Erdoğan may be a dictator, he still needs the votes of those citizens to be elected. I believe that when the Ukraine war ends and the West starts buying gas from Russia again, Putin will once again be declared a peace envoy, and the analyses of Erdoğan and Putin being best friends will disappear. As you mentioned in your comment, the Erdoğan-Putin relationship is hanging by a very thin thread. Erdoğan portraying himself as very close to Putin is also risky for his domestic political career. In my opinion, many people analyze the two countries without knowing their internal dynamics, geography, and history, using Putin and Erdoğan as caricatures.

This video is a propaganda against Azerbaijan. And full of "mistakes". First, Azerbaijan doesn't call that region Nogorno Karabagh, but just call it Karabagh. Second, Armenians were majority only a few small villages and small parts of Karabagh which they moved in early 1900s. Third "the referendum" was on Azerbaijan's land and there were over a million of Azerbaijanis at that time, including my parents and relatives were against that wasn't even asked, and didn't participated in it. And Armenia invaded over 20% of Azerbaijan which includes regions like Kalbajar, Lachin, Fizuli, Zangilan, Jabrayil and other parts that there weren't even a thousand Armenians living but with the population over 60000 people. And my family and relatives were killed by Armenians and forced to move Baku. Where I was born and grew up. Another thing there were hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis living in Armenian before 1990. But there's not a single Azerbaijani right now. They either got killed or forced to move. But still there over 50 thousands aremniians living in Azerbaijan, Baku as the citizens of Azerbaijan. So you have to be unbiased if you're making a video about such a sensitive topic. And when it comes to Armenian whoever participated in the first war and killed Azerbaijanis including my relatives, deserved to die. And fortunately justice has been served by Azerbaijani military and some of those armenian killers went straight to hell in 2020, during second war. Armenia never had balls to be a honorable nation they did meat riding to Russia for centuries and now Russia is weaker they're doing the same to France and the USA. But it won't change the fact that they won't get a single piece of Azerbaijan's land any more because simply they don't have men to fight for them. And no French or American will do that for them.
Georgia lost two provinces to Russia in 1993 (South Ossetia, Abhazia)... here the Tsjetsjens were involved. Georgia had been more aligned with the West, close ties with Nato and the EU even. Armenia is more on the Russian side, they counted on Russia to help them keep Nagorno Karabach. Azerbeidjan is backed by Turkey which is also in Nato. I guess Georgia would be like Ukraine, if they mess with it Nato will help from the sidelines with intel and weapons... Armenia is more like Belarus... or Serbia... not very popular with Nato, more aligned with Russia...
in 1990's war , Armenians not only occupied the Karabakh but also occupied surrounding 7 region totally belongs to Azerbaijan. These 7 regions were even 2-3 times bigger than Karabakh itself. For 30 years azerbaijan insisted Armenia to give back these 7 regions but did not get any reply. Armenians claimed that not only Karabakh but these 7 regions also belongs to Armenians . in 2020's war , azerbaijan succesfully get these 7 region back. only a part of Karabakh stayed under Armenian occupation. And 2 days ago Azerbaijan finished the job and fully liberated its own land so the problem occured in 1990's war is happily over now.
Hah, exactly! And thanks god zombieland (russia) lost it's power. Neighbors are tired of Russia. Only armenia and belarus are sending love to russia. Because they are puppets of Russia. Rest of neighbors just hate russia. Just hate.
Azerbaijan has zero interest to invade armenia. They only wish to open Zengezur corridor to reach nahcivan & turkey by road It was inside aggrement when war ended but armenians shows no sight to do it. Also Armenians are keep firing to azerbaijani positions to provoke further escalation.
Just to note, Azerbaijan hasnt invaded someones land, they just took control of their internationaly recognized territory called Karabağ from illegaly armed forces. You could look at least maps.google to check in which country the Karabağ is located . On the other hand, Kara means black and bağ means yard , that Karabağ is a turkish word..

So many important points missed deliberately or not 1. Karabakh is internationally recognized territory of Azerbaijan, including Armenia. You don't invade your own territory/ 2. CSTO doesn't cover Karabakh as mentioned above since agreement based on recognized borders of members. So Russia didn't help because there was no reason to. 3. Armenia not only invaded Karabakh on 90 but surrounding areas which were 20% of Azerbaijan, resulting in 800.000 IDPs. There are much more but report distort the facts rather than explaining it.
what a unprofessional take on conflict. for someone who is familiar with the issue clearly sees bias approach. let me make it clear for you: 1. in early 90's armenia occupied not only nogorno karabakh, but also 7 surrounding districts of azerbaijan. making 1 million azeri refugees leave their homes where never ever lived armenians. (in video it was shown only nagorno karabakh part) 2. nagorno karabakh is recognized as an integral part of azerbaijan including armenia (in video it say just most of the countries recognize it) 3. azerbaijan for so many years offering peace agreement to armenia but armenia doesn't want a peace. 4. there is no any starvation in karabakh, it has been proven many times. people who need food will never ignore humanitarian supply from any country, but armenians in karabakh strongly rejects help from azerbaijan. there are a lot more to say.... just make a research before making such videos and showing azerbaijan in a dark light peace to our countries !!!

It is important to clarify The Republic of "Azarpadegan" historically was called Arrano Shirvan until 1918 when with Russia influence they copied the name of our province in Northern Iran in order to incite division within Iran but it never worked. Azarpadegan means fire garrison in Persian translates to "place where fire is protected" as Azarpadegan province of Iran was devoutly Zoroastrian.
You never mentioned the other CSTO member's intentions, it's probably worth reporting on if they intend on stepping in as they are also legally obliged to and Russia won't be helping.
They don't care. The only real function of the CSTO nowadays is to prevent islamic terrorists in tajikistan. The central asian states(minus tajikistan) only pay lip service to the alliance and are allies of turkey+ azerbaijan on account of their shared cultural heritage and oil export agreements.
The other CSTO countries are incapable of intervening militarily. Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan's militaries are tiny, and what few troops they have are poorly equipped. Kazakhstan and Belarus have larger armies, but they completely lack the sort of transportation and supply infrastructure they would need to support several thousand troops in Armenia. Besides, both Kazakhstan and Belarus have good reasons to keep their troops at home: Kazakhstan suffered a great deal of political unrest in 2022 and likely wants to keep its troops on hand to quell any repeat performances; while Belarus allowed Russia to invade Ukraine from their territory in 2022 and is currently playing host to several thousand Wagnerites, so they are probably worried about a potential counter attack from out of Ukraine (or possibly even Poland) meant to remove those threats once and for all.
The CSTO is like BRICS, it is mostly just a PR paper version of NATO (G7). They don't accomplish anything other than appearing as a counter to NATO (G7).

Azerbaijan is inhabited by Turks, Azeri Turks. 2 states, 1 nation is the main used quote by the two. Turkey and Azerbaijan very similar in language and culture, comparible to Belgium and the Netherlands. If one dares to touch Azerbaijan they'll feel the wrath of Turkey. Iran is also scared in this situation, because almost 40 million Azeri Turks do live in the northern province of Iran that is called South Azerbaijan. All the way from Tabriz to Tehran. That is why they support Armenia. Also Iran did publish a video where they threatened Turkey and Azerbaijan with drones and rocket strikes etc. In Iran they attacked the Azerbaijan embassy with weapons and got someone killed.

Best way to solve this, give Nagorno-Karabakh to Azerbaijan and the Nakhchivan region to Armenia, then sponsor a population transfer program between the two regions, therefore Armenians are not split up and Azerbaijanis are not split up, problem solved.
What a mindless way of thinking is that, All that land belongs to Azerbaycan already, they performed a genocide to Turks there to claim that land for themselves, but those they killed inhumanly were never forgotten, that land never was theirs in the first place, and they would have to leave soon or later, they should just thank god that Turks were never as cruel as them. By the way they already agreed to leave, its all over!
Hi. Armenia didn’t occupy only Nagorno-Karabagh also all surrounding areas even they attacked to Ganja the second biggest city. They keep the 20% of country under occupation for 30 years and 1 million refugees from the are suffered a lot. It is time to restore the justice!
Some additions:
- Iran is concerned about Azerbaijan getting bigger considering there's a significant minority of Azeri's living in Iran that could eventually demand to be unified with Azerbaijan like Azerbaijan now claims Qarabag.
- Armenia has received/bought weapons from other powers as well like India, France and Greece. It's not clear how much support they would be willing to offer as they all have their own interests in the region.
- Azerbaijan could potentially count on the help of Israel as well considering their alliance with Azerbaijan and their interests in keeping Iran down.
edit: ohh before I forget
- Azerbaijan is a major trade link between China and Europe as further north through Russia and south through Iran is not possible due to sanctions. Azerbaijan is an alternative gas and oil provider for Europe. Azerbaijan and the Caspian Sea are also a vital trade link between Russia and Iran/India. A conflict could severely complicate that or make it impossible.
- Ukraine might profit indirectly as Iran would no longer be able to provide Russia with (as much) support as it is currently doing.

The note about how Amernia has been trying to pivot to the West is interesting. Too little too late, indeed.
Unfortunately, the West didn't really care about Armenia that much, so they had no choice than to rely on Russia and, to a minor degree, Iran. In fact, geopolitically that would be the natural axis for Armenia to be in, if the population where not pro-democracy.
@@filipe5722 The problem with Armenia is that Turkey supports its rival, Azerbaidjan, and has complicated relations. Because of this, it's hard for Western countries to give a real military support to Armenia as maintaining Turkey in NATO is more valuable than having Armenia.
As a French citizen, I wish Armenia was supported, but I would understand if the support doesn't go very far.
Turkey is too important to take the risk of souring relations just to help a 3 millions inhabitants country.
@@filipe5722 This guy clearly got his facts mixed up. Armenia started leaning towards the West AFTER CSTO outright ignored their obligation to help its member nations in times of conflict. Just like the Warsaw Pact that preceded it, CSTO seemed better suited to putting down civilian protesters than armed soldiers it seems.
@@guillaumeroussel8633 Yup, that's exactly it. Armenia sits in the crossroads between two opposing axes: Turkey-Azerbaijan and Russia-(Georgia)-Iran. The first one is hostile towards Armenia, so they had no other choice than to rely on the second one.
The only hope now is that Russian influence over the Black Sea retreats with a Ukrainian victory and the EU/NATO take more interest in the Caucasus, allowing Armenia to seek a guarantor. Still, that will likely need Georgia cooperation, so it's still a big gamble for Armenia.

The historical background before 1990 War is crucial to understanding. One can’t just jump in at the 1990’s War.
I worked in Armenia for a short time. There's a brandy factory in Yerevan called Ararat, where Stalin and Churchill used to order brandy. They have a huge barrel there called the Peace Barrel, signed by politicians from both sides. It was made in 2001 and will only be opened when a peaceful settlement is agreed over Nagorno-Karabakh.
As long as they call that mountain Ararat, there will be no peace lol. They literally say that the mountain in Turkey is theirs.
@@tywinlannister it literally is Armenian. Before Turkic people migrated to Anatolia, Armenians were the sole guardians of Ararat for thousands of years.
Colonizers don't get to rewrite history just because they removed indigenous people from their homes and lands.
Guess that's the point. The barrel won't be opened willingly anytime soon...
There’s no such thing as “indigenous people” lmao. Humans have been fighting each other over land for THOUSANDS OF YEARS!!!!!!! People have been moving around for THOUSANDS OF YEARS. Ararat has been Turkish for 1000 years since the SELJUKS. We won it by WAR. That’s how it was back then and now. Stop telling yourself lies. Do you think there were people before “Armenians” in that lands? Yes their probably were just as their were in EVERY OTHER PIECE OF LAND GENIUS. Like wow have you never read a history book?

Azerbaijan has the upper hand by far but don't want to stir too much trouble to avoid coming under sanction of any kind cause they rely massively on trading with the West. They'll probably try to slowly but surely get the minimum their want (the enclave and a passage on the south of Armenia) and stop at that.
Azerbaijan has likely been carefully weighing its options. Wars can take a while so even if Russia couldn't intervene right now, the situation could change in the future. Azerbaijan probably wanted to make sure that Russia was going to be tied up in Ukraine for a while. Especially since Russia would probably like to intervene in an Azeri-Armenian conflict. Russia's reputation as a major world power has taken a hit since the botched and now stagnant invasion of Ukraine. Being able to protect Armenia would allow Russia to regain a small amount of its credit as a military power.
CSTO is fucking useless thats why.
This situation kind of reminds me of the Chaco War between Bolivia and Paraguay. 2 post-imperial countries that had a border dispute and ended up fighting over the land :/

Your statement is critically incorrect - " Azerbaijan always had an upper hand". Karabag was under armenian accusation for nearly 20 years and Armenia had an upper hand. Do your homework and make your statement right!
You forgot one important thing. One of the main reasons Armenia won the war in the 90's was thanks to the money (and also volunteers) sent back by the very rich Armenian diaspora around the world. But by now, Azerbaijan's oil wealth is greater than that which could be spared by wealthy Armenians abroad; plus the current generation is one more generation removed from their roots in Armenia, so they would probably help less than last time.

Armenia is the first Christian country, Indo-European nation, natives of Armenian Highland. Modern Turkey is used to be Kingdom of Armenia and Greece in antient times. Nowdays Armenia is a small, democratic country with European values. Azerbaijan is a Muslim country and they are ethnic Turks whose ancestors invaded Armenian Highland, Anatolia and Caucasus in 11 century. Azerbaijan is one of the wors dictatorships in the world where vice president is president's wife and Aliyev inherited the "trone" from his father and rules the country over 25 years. Exactly a year ago Azerbaijan invaded Republic of Armenia, after two years of occupying Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh).
Azerbaijan claims all of Armenia is "historic Azerbaijan" and has already invaded Republic of Armenia after occupying Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh).

Well we could blame on person, Stalin for creating this messy lines thinking he could reunite the Soviet Union after his death
Yes, shame on azerbaijan and Stalin.
I also think it’s interesting to note that it was actually a war in 2014 but Russia intervened very quickly… in 2020 they were much slower even drawing international outcry to step in and this was well before their invasion of Ukraine. I’m sure part of it was Geopolitics but in 2018 Armenia also elected a new leader who was a bit more western oriented/less of the Russian sphere. I always found it interesting the difference in Russian response after that it always made me wonder if Putin was perhaps much less willing to fulfill his obligation when the leader was not as friendly…. But yeah I’m deeply concerned for Armenia, they just want to be left alone and live and this century old land dispute (that the Soviet Union could’ve resolved and never did) is basically a ticking time bomb. It may not be tomorrow but I don’t see how full invasion isn’t coming.
I was actually impressed with how they managed things in 2020, considering that they were kind of late, and they even got their helicopter taken down. They ended up involving Turkey just a little bit, but they were still the main broker. But whatever Azerbaijan decides to do now, Armenia will be at their mercy. Russia won't be able to do a thing about it.
Of course a westerner christian is supporting Armenia and seeing them as the oppressed here. "But yeah I’m deeply concerned for Armenia, they just want to be left alone" if they want to be left alone they had so many opportunities to make peace, to un-occupy Azerbaijani territory, but they don't and they don't want to cease their invasion in Azerbaijan without force. So Azerbaijan is the bad guy for trying to get their lands back from Armenian invaders? Oh poor you, you must be so concerned about the poor old invaders. The reason their invasion was successful was because they had Russia behind their back. Now Turkey is behind Azerbaijan, and Armenia won't be able to terrorize them any longer. Justice will be served, hot or cold. That is Azerbaijan's choice now.
Putin doesn't support anyone but puppets. But now he's pretty much a puppet of China. Without China he's done.
It sounds crazy, but the only sensible way for Armenia to "be left alone" in this geography is to have a deal with turks, which armenians completely refuse.
No matter what Russia does it is always the bad guy! Russia did fantastic in 2020, it did intervene to make the two sit down and talk peace, it kinda forced them to stop the war, it did also warn that it will intervene if either countries tries to invade the other, karabakh is a different story as both countries have legit reasons to claim it at theirs, those who have made the war possible are western and Nato countries, Armenia's government was backed by the west since the revolution of 2014, and Azerbaijan was fully supported by the strongest nato countries in the region, Turkey and Israel. But smh Russia is to blame, when they were the ones to stop the war TWICE, and those who have fed the war are now blaming it all on Russia!!!
The only thing that stopped the lunatics from involving their citizens into a full scale bloody war was the Russian influence, the west saw that Russia is pretty much occupied now and they started to put gas on the fire.
Russia isn't always the bad guy, it has been the good guy many times in history, the west isn't always right and have caused many wars and disasters in countless countries.
Stop seeing everything as black or white.
It's also worth noting that Azerbaijan is an increasingly important country to the EU since Azerbaijan has started supplying gas to the EU, replacing some of the gas cut-off from Russia.
If Azerbaijan did invade Armenia, any European response would have to consider the Azerbaijani reaction too.
@Intreoo, The amount of gas Azerbaijan sends the EU is quite small. It accounts for a very small percentage of what Europe imports. It isn't nearly enough of a figure to have any effect on EU foreign policy.
The reason EU won't respond isn't the gas, they won't respond because they can't respond? Aside from a condemnation what exactly can they do? They don't have the military capability to get there let alone do something about it.
I don't think the Azeris give a rat's arse what Europe thinks. I don't think the Armenians are stupid enough to believe Europe will change the outcome of anything for them.
Really, so you guys are totally fine to warm your houses with our Armenian blood??

@@BeautySavesWorld I don't know where you got this information; perhaps from Armenian schoolbooks where they teach you about history. From this information, one might infer that Armenia is older than Greece. That's an interesting perspective.
Let me provide some enlightenment on the Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) issue. If Nagorno Karabakh has been a disputable area, why did this happen: 'The Armenian-occupied territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh were areas of Azerbaijan, situated outside the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (NKAO), which were occupied by the ethnic Armenian military forces of the breakaway Republic of Artsakh (or the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic) with military support from Armenia, from the end of the First Nagorno-Karabakh War (1988-1994) to 2020'?
I agree; I have seen this photo. But I actively follow Armenian Telegram channels where I have seen the same things, more brutal or less. It doesn't matter; it happens in every war. So at least our soldiers killed someone who was armed. But in the first Nagorno-Karabakh War, you killed children, pregnant women, old people. Did you forget about The Khojaly massacre. (The Khojaly massacre was the mass killing of Azerbaijani civilians by Armenian forces and the 366th CIS regiment in the town of Khojaly on 26 February 1992. The event became the largest single massacre throughout the entire Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Khojaly was an Azerbaijani-populated town of some 6,300 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast of Azerbaijan SSR, also housing the region's only airport in 1992. The town was subject to daily shelling and total blockade by Armenian forces during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War. Without a supply of electricity, gas, or water, it was defended by the local forces consisting of about 160 lightly armed men. The Armenian forces, along with some troops of the 366th CIS regiment, launched an offensive in early 1992, forcing almost the entire Azerbaijani population of the enclave to flee and committing 'unconscionable acts of violence against civilians' as they fled.)
It's important to note that Karabakh is recognized by all countries as a part of Azerbaijan, not Armenia and no one recognized latest president elections in 'Artsakh'.
Here is the references. All things that I have mentioned is true facts and I only use trustable sources not local history books.

I'll explain how things are now. Azerbaijan is actively restoring destroyed houses and historical monuments, as well as building new buildings. From time to time, Azerbaijan returns the refugees (Azerbaijanis) of the 90s back to their homes. The state also offers citizens of Armenian origin to return back to Karabakh, take Azerbaijani citizenship and live peacefully. But it is not profitable for Armenia, because now Armenia has a chance to somehow increase its population.
Eh... really? :D I don't care about Azeris or Armenians and their strungle, but I can smell shit in your post. Take your honey moon story with ya and sell it to someone without a brain kiddo.
Last part is completely wrong, Armenians fled Karabakh for the same reasons Azerbaijanis did in the 90's. Because most Armenians do not want to live in a state that actively hates them.
Armenia didn't send "arms" to Ukraine. They sent humanitarian aid to Ukraine a few days ago. Armenia itself needs arms to defend itself against azerbaijan and turkey.
If Armenia wants to defend itself against us Turks, it must correct the stupid laws in its constitution that claim rights on the lands of the Republic of Turkey and the Republic of Azerbaijan and say that they will establish a great Armenia, otherwise it will take 3 days for the Republic of Turkey and the Republic of Azerbaijan to occupy the entire territory of Armenia
You can look at those borders, knowing nothing else, and realize that this situation was never going to be sustainable.
yeah, its only a matter of time, one side gonna give
Im shocked that even TLDR would try and explain this conflict in 8 minutes. Shit is like millenia old.
A- for effort ig
I mean, sort of, but basically everything before 1991 can be summed up with: Armenians and Azeris are mixed together in the region and they hate each other.
Ethnic groups that hate each other being geographically co-mingled is common enough that Westerners don't really care whose ancestors invaded who, or who launched a crusade/jihad against the other several hundred years ago. We just chalk that up to "they have been killing each other for a long time" and start looking for when the paperwork (i.e. treaties, imperial provincial law, declarations of independence, etc.) starts.

The 3 countries are ex-Soviet States and they have a complex past and as such a complex relationship. Russia intervened diplomatically in the last conflict to prevent unnecessary bloodshed and to help develop a path to peace, which they did.

Azerbaijan has every right to retake their internationally recognised territory in Nagorno-Karabakh from the illegal occupiers. However, I would not support direct military action into mainland Armenia.

There are a small amount of Kurds, Yezidis, and Assyrians in Armenia.
Also what do you mean by "Turkish population lands" when Turkey isn't even Turkish land. If you look at it by single ethnic groups, Greeks were a majority or plurality in Istanbul, Izmir, Trabzon and all of Eastern Thrace until 1915. Armenians were a majority of plurality in most of Eastern Anatolia except the coast around Trabzon which again was predominantly Greek. Baku wasn't even majority Azerbaijani until after 1920. There were 2.5 million Greeks and 1.8 million Armenians in Turkey now combined there's less than 100k you tell me why. You can also tell me why the percentage of every minority group in Azerbaijan from the lezgins to Georgians, to talyish, to the Armenians has continuously dropped for 100 years? You know since Azerbaijan is SOOOO accepting of other cultures.
This is misleading. when Armenia first took the region. they didn't stop at the parts that were predominantly Armenian, they also took all the surrounding Azeri parts and they forced out Azeris from the area. Roughly 700 thousand Azeri's were kicked out of their homes if I recall. Taking the territory back was also about returning people to their homes.
because they were attacked so they took better positions to defend themselves

Azerbaijan needs to back off and stop bullying Armenia. (No, I'm not saying Armenia never did anything wrong). Most of Nagorno-Karabakh does not want to be part of Azerbaijan. Seems like Azerbaijan is the aggressor. Why does Armenia not have more support? Because it's in a worser position?
Because of oil, geopolitics and international law.
No one really talking about the fact that azerbejan never existed before 1918. It was a made up country by Joseph Stalin to house the mongol-turkic tribes mixed with Persians. And then Gifted Artsakh and Nakhichevan to this newly created country because Stalin's wife was pro-azeei. And also the Russians always make decisions to appease the turks. Armenia is currently 29,800sq km in size when previously it was up to 300,000sq km. Armenians liberated their Artsakh in a fair fight in early 90s but Armenia failed to push international organisations for recognition.
LMAOOO. Thats the funniest joke ever heard. like Armenia ever existed before 1918 ? read about the articles how Russian Tsar is moving the Armenians to caucasians so that they could cut the connection between Turkey and other Turkic countries.
So Armenia hosts joint military exercises with NATO, sends help to Ukraine and in the same time is hoping that Russia will come to their aid? A bit of cognitive dissonance, so to say.
you got the last part wrong, armenia isn't hoping for russias help at all, Russia has backstabbed us and never helped us, they sold weapons to azeris and they are pretty much on azeris side (because they're with turkey now and turkey is basically brother of azeri), Armenia is fully trying to lean on to the west now but it is hard to do it instantly or we will become another ukraine and this time russia will really mess us up...

Appreciate the efforts to explain the situation in a short video, but it's really oversimplified. I understand that it's quite hard to give info about a multi-layered, hundred years old conflict happening in a very diverse part of the world, however, it would be great to say or note this by "this isn't and/or may not be the whole precise picture"
Bro, actually this topic doesn require deep research. There are simple facts to be addressed firstly, as those lands belong to Azerbaijan and even Armenia itself doesn recognize seperatist state.
If everyone starts claiming ownership on the lands which their ancestors allegedly lived thousands years ago what would happen in the world 😂
simply, armenians like russians want s to occupy Azerbaijani lands by playing ethnic minority card which is fated to fail. All world knows armenia is ally of Russia, and by support of Russia they could hold those lands under occupation, as russia gets weaker day by day and becoming more dependant on Turkiye, Armenian seperatist entity doesn stand a chance against modernized NATO style Azerbaijani army :)
@@AtarahMata Russia wouldn let it.. don't believe these tales. Russia is in control of even current "pro Western" government. Armenian "western" president helping russians to build military equipments to kill ukranians. As sanctions don't let russians import some important goods directly, they do it through armenian companies. As a result economical relations between two countries doubled, tripled in last years which is statistical fact.
Armenians can't go against Russians interests, it is only Show is crafted by russians to escape sansctions.
They should liberate Palestine from jewhadists instead of this
No,it is Azerbaijan who is aligned with Russia currently.You oversimplification leads to a huge mistake.Russia pressures Pashinyan via Alıyev.
This is just a mess IMO as this region is full of a lot of ethnic groups that are just scattered but were under different bigger powers centuries ago like with Mongols I think, Ottomans and then Russia - after the USSR collapsed they became too unstable and just like in Yugoslavia it became aggressive which lands these eventual countries will have when they aren't independent for more than maybe even a millennium ago; there needs to be a long term peace agreement with this like between Greece and Turkey, albeit it may also need population swapping which is seen unfavorably now.
And this is why you need to keep spending on your military and have good relations with your neighbors
None of those were ever in Armenia’s control. The country was too poor from day one to afford a decent military budget of any kind. And all of Armenia’s neighbors are either sworn enemies, or negligent abusers who simply keep them on a chain for their own interests.

Worked so well after WW1.
Spot on analysis. Azerbaijan military have started a military operation into Armenia a week later.
People watching this video after it happened💀.
Folks are hating on Azerbaijan here, claiming they should be sanctioned and Armenia helped and all kinds of stuff...
On what basis? They (maybe with some very small exceptions) aren't occupying de jure Armenian land. Their military moves are consistent with the military moves it would make to liberate Nagarno-Karabakh, which is de-jure Azerbaijan's from Armenia; a move they have the right to make.
The only thing you can go by with is a human rights record but if we know two things, it's that a human rights record is incredibly hard to base, AND that sanctions are an incredibly ineffective tool to create human rights improvement.
The alternative, offering Ukraine style support to Armenia would totally alienate Azerbaijan, and again, that wouldn't be rooted in fighting a violation of international law; BUT THE OPPOSITE, it would in effect be becoming an accomplice in the violation of international law. This is NOT a move that spurs confidence in international partners, this is NOT a move that advance support for a rules based international order.
The commies created a catch 22 in the borders of their former subjects. These borders were designed to create war. The only way to avoid wars is an adherence to international law. And that means some nations, like Armenia, get screwed out of their ethnic lands. So be it. It is not the arbitrary Putin style land grabs where if you give a finger he takes a hand. It is a land grab based on decisions made many decades ago, and the situation is not repeatable. That is why diplomacy is the only option for Armenia to gain any kind of victory
I feel bad for Armenia, they have no allies in their cause

Western countries can be interested in mutual relations with Armenia, because of Russian factor in South Caucasus is very small now and balance of power is disrupted. And because of that Americans opened industrial area in armenian-azerbaijanis border. I think that the role of regulator in this conflict can take USA. For Armenia there isn’t much time to get stronger, but with help of interested countries like USA and Iran confilct can delayed for a moment to give Armenia a chance to replay.
It is seem very easy to sit and write in front of the laptop at warm and silent home whatever your mind is thinking. But believe me your murdered troops also thought like that before they left to sleep at yerablur. The war is not for you, you cant fight, you can only kill people innocent kids and women as in KHOJALY 26 February in 1992 . you *rmenian predict to sit behind the supporting countries and cry from there.
A landlocked country cannot receive enough support of any kind from a power from thousands of miles away. Maybe from Georgian ports but I am not sure if it is ok to carry that much weapon in the black sea due to Montreaux convention. I think It is better for Armenia and Armenians to settle down the dispute and improve the relations with the neighbouring countries. Many people misses the point that Armenia has 4 neighbouring countries and they have bad relations with three of them including Georgia which is indeed a Christian country. Such international relations is a limitation for any country to prosper. About Russian influence in region, I can still say that it is much more than the US they still have cost advantage in case of a usage of force. Also an action against Azerbaijan may result gas shortages or at least price shocks in Europe so it is unlikely. Under these conditions it is better for Armenians and Armenian state to stop playing the victim and face what they did to regional countries in the past so they are not welcome in 75% of their neighbouring states. Also this type of action would decrease Armenians' dependence on regional or global powers to secure Armenia's territories. I do not say that improving relations is at no cost but still it is better than relaying on others.
@@neutrino4853 In 21 century countries conducting weapon transportation and not only weapon primarily use air connection as like Azeris with Il76 from Israel and talking about sea ports and land borders is not correct in 21 century. Improving relations is good, but only when in region will be balance between powers. Russia now has interests with Azerbaijan and Turkey it is knowed from everyone. But Russian factor americans want to break down and for that they can use Armenia. For great power balance in region is everything for US especially. Armenia wil try to normalise relations but only when requests from Turkey and Azerbaijan will be lesser than now and when Armenia will strenghthen its hard power.
@@ParuyrS I believe you are not counting the cost of air transportation. This is a huge parameter. If US wants to ship arms to Armenia for some reason it will be costly and who is going to pay for it? Armenian economy is not in a good shape and also not only Russia but also US is occupied with Ukraine war. Apart from the eastern europe, US has to focus on China and indo&west-pacific power shifts.
I am afraid to say but it is not a lucrative deal for US to donate arms to a region in which their power projection capabilities will unlikely surpass the superpower in the region or say the least the regional powers such as Iran and Turkey. For such a scenario to become successful, Iran is critical for ground transportation. However, even if the US and the Iran decide to support Armenia I have doupts that they will collaborate on that purpose because of the Iranian illogical theocratic regime.
By the way, to break the Russian overhand in caucasus they dont have to ally with Armenia, they can just support Ukraine so Russians will be much more occupied with the ongoing war. Also supporting Armenia in such conditions is costly, don't forget it is not wise to back the wrong horse.
For Armenian state I cannot see a short term solution in favor of them. The least damaging international policy seems to negociate on demands and make them in a plausible level and then compromise. Another scenario can be formally allying with Iran and it could work for short term but this would be the last straw in between Armenian and western relations and damage it for a couple of decades.
@@neutrino4853 Armenia don’t have much choice in the countries to buy weapon for understandable reasons, but for example India can afford to help Armenia because of Pakistani factor and not only India. I don’t consider official help from US as a weapon transportation, but with their mediation Armenia can negotiate with Azerbaijan at the end. US is a country of big caliber and for them multitasking never was and is a problem if you read world history. And if we consider last peace agenda between Saudi Arabia and Iran for them possible zone of influence is essential in this region. Armenian economy now is being strengthened , but if we compare Armenia and Azerbaijan in numbers its obvious that azeris are ahead. Azeri’s inner political situation now isn’t good and they can’t afford many casualties in future war because of domestic political problems. They now work to scare Armenia with muscles to have more concessions at the table of negotiations. About Iran mentality of the last part 20 century is not proper because in foreign policy after death of Khomeini 1989 their foreign policy was oriented more secular way but in inner policy i agree they are religious. Armenia can use red lines of Iran considered with borders, because if Zangezur coridor will be opened Iran will lost 200 mln market and its against their national interests. In this vein Armenia has chances.
With helping Ukraine US can’t low the influence of Russia through Azerbaijan and Turkey because they are in the same “basket”. But Armenia can diversify power balance. But i already mentioned that i truly disbelief about weapon help from US.
Iran will not help with the situation of Nagorno-Karabakh, but Armenia should use Iran to the issue of Zangezur’s corridor.
South Azerbaijan is NOT Iran. The Azerbaijani Turks have endured years of oppression by the Persian government, depriving them of their rights.

As an Azerbaijani, I would like to make some remarks. There is not any land in Azerbaijan called Nagorno-Karabakh. We have Karabakh region and its mountainous surrounding. I don’t know why you used multiple times “occupied” word instead of “liberated”, I would like to clarify that we haven’t occupied any land of Armenia. We have liberated our occupied territories by Armenia during 1st Karabakh War and restored our sovereignty. Furthermore, Russian peacekeepers in Lachin corridor didn’t leave to join Russian army in Ukraine. After the capitulation of Armenia, as a result of 2nd Karabakh war, in the statement that was signed by the Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia there was a clause stating that Lachin corridor will be under control of peacekeepers only until the alternative road is established. We established this road and took control of Lachin corridor in a legit way. There’s no siege, no humanitarian crisis in Karabakh region of Azerbaijan where Armenian citizens of Azerbaijan currently residing in!
Well said. All the research I've do e says you're correct.
@@AtarahMata what kind of voting are you talking about? The one (“referendum”) that was held in 1991 in our sovereign state and boycotted by local Azerbaijanis?? How legitimate could it be?

The title feels like its misleading. According to international law, the region of Karabakh is a part of Azerbaijan. As of right now, all of Azerbaijan's military operations are taking place inside Azerbaijan. Armenia is not being invaded. Armenian troops *inside* Azerbaijan are being attacked. These are facts.
Poor Armenia has been persecuted by turkic peoples forever
As often happens, the analysis is not the most accurate. As the conflict with the West escalates, Russia seeks to enlist the support of the “South.” One of the important partners in this for them is Turkey. For Russia now, neutrality and trade with Turkey are very important, so they agreed to cede part of their influence in the Caucasus. In the 2020 war, they bought Turkey’s neutrality in the war between Russia and Ukraine. Turkey located its military bases in Azerbaijan, Turkey’s presence in NATO does not bother Russia at all. Now Russia really needs trade relations with Turkey, so they are ready to create the "Zangezur corridor" together. In return, Turkey will help Russia continue to circumvent Western sanctions. Armenia and Azerbaijan are just puppets in this game.
Haha Azerbaijan is a puppet?) we want our rightful lands back and gonna get it by playing political game. And, we are planning to benefit from trade routes as an transit country. That's why opening of Zangezur corridor is in interest of many countries included China in first place. We have common interests aligned in a high level with Turkiye, but it doesn mean we are puppet. During the time Turkiye and Israel had bad relations, we kept our ties strong with Israel and export them oil in return of high tech military equipments.
If we were willing to be puppet, it would be much easier to lean towards Russia than Turkiye. But, we chose our side - if we want to stay independent and not be like poor Armenia we need to be sided with Turkiye even though it was very diffucult in the early years of independence that's why we lost our lands in expense of our freedom. Armenians got our lands but lost their independence and become very dependent on Russia. We signed oil contracts with West against of Russian interestes in order to keep our independence and develop economically. After all these, well articulated people call us Puppet. Pls , appreciate the fact that as an small and newborn country we have well crafted foreign policy which helping us to get stronger day by day.
We appreciate the support of Turkiye, Israel and some friendly countries but in politics every player has own interests. E.g Azerbaijan is a key player in Turkiye's political agenda in Asia, helps Turkiye building ties with other Turkic countries. As, former Soviet countries and advantage of geographical location, Azerbaijan can do it. In return we get support from Türkiye and etc..
That is why I think Azerbaijan IS going to invade Armenia.
Azerbaijan and Armenia are clearly aware of this game that is between Russia and Turkey. But since Iran is starting to get involved and Russia is busy with Ukraine, Azerbaijan might have the chance to invade Armenia and get Karabakh back. (I don't think they'll ever fully invade Armenia. They'll probably take some land and demand Karabakh and Zangazur Corridor to be opened)
So, if Azerbaijan gets Karabakh and Zangazur Corridor, they'll probably stop being aggressive towards Armenia and their land. Which would mean that they won't be a puppet any longer.
Armenia has already started resisting Russian control. They have been getting supplied from India and France with arms.
So, I think these two countries are about to do what they want without the permission of their parents. (Which might either ruin both of them or make Azerbaijan win)
You're making ridiculous analyzes because you don't know that Turkey and Russia are historical rivals. Türkiye looks after its own interests. Many of you forget this, but at the very beginning of the war, Turkey helped Ukraine as much as it could, while no Western state helped Ukraine in order not to upset relations with Russia because Ukraine would lose in advance. Having stated from the beginning that I am someone who does not like Erdogan, I can only laugh at those who think that Erdogan and Putin are friends. The men who always fought against each other in Syria and Libya are suddenly declared friends by a high school war expert.
@@barskayhan2691 They are rivals but not enemies. The enemy for Russia is the West. And the West for Russia in the Caucasus is a much worse scenario than Turkey. The hostility in Syria does not bother Russia at all. Where war is needed, where mutually beneficial partnership is needed. In Ukraine and Syria, Turkey has its own ambitions. Turkey helps Ukraine, but also helps Russia economically. Turkey periodically initiates negotiations in a manner beneficial to Russia. Turkey plays its own game.
@@gl8272 Explaining the political preferences of these countries through Putin, Zelensky, and Erdoğan alone can lead to misunderstandings. Turkey, of course, follows a balanced foreign policy, but there are also historical reasons for its initial support for Ukraine, just like Serbia's policy at the beginning of the war. In other words, it speaks to realpolitik, but there's also a background to consider. I am evaluating the situation historically. When I open the map and look at events from the last five hundred years, it becomes clear that incidents like the passage of grain ships don't hold much significance. Just a few years ago, the deaths of dozens of Turkish soldiers due to a Russian airstrike, for example, is a politically much more significant event. This event is known by everyone in Turkey just like shot down Russian jet(by Turkey) known by everyone in Russia. Despite this, it's not possible for Erdoğan to pursue a policy based on it. Even though Erdoğan may be a dictator, he still needs the votes of those citizens to be elected. I believe that when the Ukraine war ends and the West starts buying gas from Russia again, Putin will once again be declared a peace envoy, and the analyses of Erdoğan and Putin being best friends will disappear. As you mentioned in your comment, the Erdoğan-Putin relationship is hanging by a very thin thread. Erdoğan portraying himself as very close to Putin is also risky for his domestic political career. In my opinion, many people analyze the two countries without knowing their internal dynamics, geography, and history, using Putin and Erdoğan as caricatures.

And Armenia invaded over 20% of Azerbaijan which includes regions like Kalbajar, Lachin, Fizuli, Zangilan, Jabrayil and other parts that there weren't even a thousand Armenians living but with the population over 60000 people. And my family and relatives were killed by Armenians and forced to move Baku. Where I was born and grew up. Another thing there were hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis living in Armenian before 1990. But there's not a single Azerbaijani right now. They either got killed or forced to move. But still there over 50 thousands aremniians living in Azerbaijan, Baku as the citizens of Azerbaijan. So you have to be unbiased if you're making a video about such a sensitive topic. And when it comes to Armenian whoever participated in the first war and killed Azerbaijanis including my relatives, deserved to die. And fortunately justice has been served by Azerbaijani military and some of those armenian killers went straight to hell in 2020, during second war. Armenia never had balls to be a honorable nation they did meat riding to Russia for centuries and now Russia is weaker they're doing the same to France and the USA. But it won't change the fact that they won't get a single piece of Azerbaijan's land any more because simply they don't have men to fight for them. And no French or American will do that for them.
Any thoughts on whether this will spill into Georgia? Sorry I am unfamiliar with this region and about to head to Tbilisi.
There will be conflict in Georgia but not for a few more years.
Armenia is more closely aligned with Moscow than Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan is a western ally. It's not hard to see who will side with who.
Don't worry, Georgia is a benefactor of the Turkey/Azerbaijan and Armenia bad blood.
No Georgia should be 100% safe from the war, just stay away from the border just in case of missed strikes, tbilisi is not gonna feel anything tho
Georgia lost two provinces to Russia in 1993 (South Ossetia, Abhazia)... here the Tsjetsjens were involved.
Georgia had been more aligned with the West, close ties with Nato and the EU even.
Armenia is more on the Russian side, they counted on Russia to help them keep Nagorno Karabach.
Azerbeidjan is backed by Turkey which is also in Nato.
I guess Georgia would be like Ukraine, if they mess with it Nato will help from the sidelines with intel and weapons...
Armenia is more like Belarus... or Serbia... not very popular with Nato, more aligned with Russia...
in 1990's war , Armenians not only occupied the Karabakh but also occupied surrounding 7 region totally belongs to Azerbaijan. These 7 regions were even 2-3 times bigger than Karabakh itself. For 30 years azerbaijan insisted Armenia to give back these 7 regions but did not get any reply. Armenians claimed that not only Karabakh but these 7 regions also belongs to Armenians .
in 2020's war , azerbaijan succesfully get these 7 region back. only a part of Karabakh stayed under Armenian occupation.
And 2 days ago Azerbaijan finished the job and fully liberated its own land so the problem occured in 1990's war is happily over now.
this video is extremely biased towards the pro-Armenian side, considering that Nagorno-Karabakh has always been considered the territory of Azerbaijan
Yeah but what about the Armenians there
Don't they matter
Aged well
What are Armenians looking for in Azerbaijani territory?
We support our Christian brothers in Armenia🇨🇦
unfortunately most Christian country love Azerbaijan. Even Israel loves Azerbaijan which is a muslim dominated country
The problem is not religion here, but more nationalism
@@kerdart351and what would you say about Armenian genocide sire?
@@adityamessiah69 how is that even related here ?
Soviet whataboutism is a shame.
@@kerdart351 no shit sherlock, what do you think is going to happen with the christian population after azerbaijanis defeat them?
Since the ukraine war russia has basically lost all leverage to actually maintain peace and has to listen to all of azerbaijans demands
Hah, exactly! And thanks god zombieland (russia) lost it's power. Neighbors are tired of Russia. Only armenia and belarus are sending love to russia. Because they are puppets of Russia. Rest of neighbors just hate russia. Just hate.
Why do you care ? Then dont care😂😉
Yes this is demands, this is azerbaijan's naturally right
"Azerbaijan occupied Lachin corridor"???
WTF?
Wtf are you talking about?
What resources have you used to prepare this video? 🤦🏻
Azerbaijan has zero interest to invade armenia. They only wish to open Zengezur corridor to reach nahcivan & turkey by road It was inside aggrement when war ended but armenians shows no sight to do it. Also Armenians are keep firing to azerbaijani positions to provoke further escalation.
Just to note, Azerbaijan hasnt invaded someones land, they just took control of their internationaly recognized territory called Karabağ from illegaly armed forces. You could look at least maps.google to check in which country the Karabağ is located . On the other hand, Kara means black and bağ means yard , that Karabağ is a turkish word..
We also know that Cyprus is recognized as ONE COUNTRY, the whole island.
If Cypriots did to turkish occupation the same as azeris do to armenians you wouldn't say the same.
So shut up, and accept your barbarian bloodthisty nature. Don't try to excuse your murders.

I love how I always see Azerbaijan attacking and also see Azerbaijani people demonstrating against armenia in western countries
pls Google term "internationally recognised borders"
@@aydamirguli77Please search for "peace", and "Azeri aggression".
@@aydamirguli77 Im not even talking about the contested region. Azerbaijan attacked the Armenian mainland.
Also if we go about internationally recognised borders, does that mean that China can just carpetbomb Taiwan and that will be fine because its their territory?
@@Bennie_Tziek pls tell me which settlements/towns did Azerbaijan occupy in Armenia mainland pls
@@aydamirguli77 "attacking" "attacked", nowhere do I say occupy, but to fullfill your information needs: "Azerbaijani forces attacked military and civilian positions in Vardenis, Goris, Sotk, Jermuk, and other cities with artillery, drones, and heavy weapons."
So many important points missed deliberately or not
1. Karabakh is internationally recognized territory of Azerbaijan, including Armenia. You don't invade your own territory/
2. CSTO doesn't cover Karabakh as mentioned above since agreement based on recognized borders of members. So Russia didn't help because there was no reason to.
3. Armenia not only invaded Karabakh on 90 but surrounding areas which were 20% of Azerbaijan, resulting in 800.000 IDPs.
There are much more but report distort the facts rather than explaining it.
what a unprofessional take on conflict. for someone who is familiar with the issue clearly sees bias approach. let me make it clear for you:
1. in early 90's armenia occupied not only nogorno karabakh, but also 7 surrounding districts of azerbaijan. making 1 million azeri refugees leave their homes where never ever lived armenians. (in video it was shown only nagorno karabakh part)
2. nagorno karabakh is recognized as an integral part of azerbaijan including armenia (in video it say just most of the countries recognize it)
3. azerbaijan for so many years offering peace agreement to armenia but armenia doesn't want a peace.
4. there is no any starvation in karabakh, it has been proven many times. people who need food will never ignore humanitarian supply from any country, but armenians in karabakh strongly rejects help from azerbaijan.
there are a lot more to say.... just make a research before making such videos and showing azerbaijan in a dark light
peace to our countries !!!
Iran is willing to help Armenia but what can I say about this unbelievable Armenian government (I can tell you guys easily that at least 80% of Iranians support Armenians because they are really gentle and beautiful
India also support Iran and Armenia 😁✊🏻 ! We have so many weapons from Russia we are recently changing if it help we might donate our friends in there Lil war !
Honestly, most of us iranian Azeris are not big fans of panturk movement, and calling for taking our northern regions and the Safavids history as their own is not a great strategy for the Azerbaijan to have
@@AtarahMata there is a lot of culture behind Assyrian people which i respect a lot. it hearts me when a lot of Assyrian call themself Arab. but their culture goes way back before Arabs. and of course if we stop thinking about stupid things we enjoy life together just fine and happy. i am glad to hear that from you
@@mohammadhazraty2372 that is why someone like you and me are Iranians not Persians. we have to understand this. because Iran is in a deep problem it doesn't mean we have to forget who we are. but a lots of Azeris don't understand this
@@svanimation8969 Sorry my friend but at this point, I have no clue about what Indians or their government want. you guys are acting so weird lately
??????? You know that is Azerbaijan right?
Why don’t ypu mention other 7 regions occupied by Armenians in 1990s although there was no Armenian population and force hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis to flee their homes.
guess we got the answer today
It is important to clarify The Republic of "Azarpadegan" historically was called Arrano Shirvan until 1918 when with Russia influence they copied the name of our province in Northern Iran in order to incite division within Iran but it never worked. Azarpadegan means fire garrison in Persian translates to "place where fire is protected" as Azarpadegan province of Iran was devoutly Zoroastrian.
Praying 🇺🇸🇲🇽🇦🇲❤️
Actually the GDP per Capita of Armenia is more bigger than Azerbaidjan
poor Armenia, the Turkic tribes hunt them down for millenia...
Love Azerbaijan ❤

Which Azerbaijan vs Armenian war is this one? I lost count a few yeass ago.
You never mentioned the other CSTO member's intentions, it's probably worth reporting on if they intend on stepping in as they are also legally obliged to and Russia won't be helping.
They don't care. The only real function of the CSTO nowadays is to prevent islamic terrorists in tajikistan. The central asian states(minus tajikistan) only pay lip service to the alliance and are allies of turkey+ azerbaijan on account of their shared cultural heritage and oil export agreements.
The only other active CSTO me members is Belarus*
The other CSTO countries are incapable of intervening militarily. Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan's militaries are tiny, and what few troops they have are poorly equipped. Kazakhstan and Belarus have larger armies, but they completely lack the sort of transportation and supply infrastructure they would need to support several thousand troops in Armenia.
Besides, both Kazakhstan and Belarus have good reasons to keep their troops at home: Kazakhstan suffered a great deal of political unrest in 2022 and likely wants to keep its troops on hand to quell any repeat performances; while Belarus allowed Russia to invade Ukraine from their territory in 2022 and is currently playing host to several thousand Wagnerites, so they are probably worried about a potential counter attack from out of Ukraine (or possibly even Poland) meant to remove those threats once and for all.
The CSTO is like BRICS, it is mostly just a PR paper version of NATO (G7). They don't accomplish anything other than appearing as a counter to NATO (G7).
@@boosterh1113 One minor detail, Belarus military is like 45,000 people, Kazakhstan is 77,000. Just aiding either one would be difficult. But in* small scale war, yes these are large militaries
Azerbaijan managed to play its card correctly with its gas and oil and playing well with players like with the Turks
Israel also which Support Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan is inhabited by Turks, Azeri Turks. 2 states, 1 nation is the main used quote by the two. Turkey and Azerbaijan very similar in language and culture, comparible to Belgium and the Netherlands. If one dares to touch Azerbaijan they'll feel the wrath of Turkey. Iran is also scared in this situation, because almost 40 million Azeri Turks do live in the northern province of Iran that is called South Azerbaijan. All the way from Tabriz to Tehran. That is why they support Armenia. Also Iran did publish a video where they threatened Turkey and Azerbaijan with drones and rocket strikes etc. In Iran they attacked the Azerbaijan embassy with weapons and got someone killed. Things are escalating very quickly.
Wtf armenia is literally with france and iran
@@gassanzade France has some connection with Iran, without USA involvement and Iran nuclear development, they would still be good friends.
Some of the people of Baku and Turkey, like Erdoğan and Alif, are delusional and think that we Iranian Azeris may work against Iran.
This is a jack
As an Iranian Azerbaijani, I promise you this:
If Iran enters this war, we Iranian Azerbaijanis will be the first to shed your blood
It doesn't matter who the enemy is, because we Iranians are subject to the order of the supreme leader of Iran
Throughout history, we Iranian Azeris have always been the guardians of Iran's northwest borders against the Ottoman barbarians.
Yes, we speak Turkish, but we are never Turks.
We Iranian Azerbaijanis are more proud of our Iranian ancestors than anyone else
And here we must warn you that millions of people from the Republic of Azerbaijan and even Turkey are followers of the Supreme Leader of Iran and are ready to sacrifice their lives for the order of the Supreme Leader of Iran.
Long live Iran and Iranians💖🇮🇷💖🇮🇷💖🇮🇷🤗
Curse Turkish racism 🇱💩🇦🇿🇹🇷💩🇦🇿
Today invasion started
And finished
Best way to solve this, give Nagorno-Karabakh to Azerbaijan and the Nakhchivan region to Armenia, then sponsor a population transfer program between the two regions, therefore Armenians are not split up and Azerbaijanis are not split up, problem solved.
Nope, Why would I have to be forced to leave my house and my land to live as a refugee in my own country?
What a mindless way of thinking is that, All that land belongs to Azerbaycan already, they performed a genocide to Turks there to claim that land for themselves, but those they killed inhumanly were never forgotten, that land never was theirs in the first place, and they would have to leave soon or later, they should just thank god that Turks were never as cruel as them.
By the way they already agreed to leave, its all over!
Hi.
Armenia didn’t occupy only Nagorno-Karabagh also all surrounding areas even they attacked to Ganja the second biggest city. They keep the 20% of country under occupation for 30 years and 1 million refugees from the are suffered a lot.
It is time to restore the justice!
