EXTREMELY PISSED AT THE DNC


After reading here and here. I made the above super low effort map. I'm unsure exactly where the crossing near Vardenis was so I'm assuming somewhere south of the road. Sev Lake was mentioned in relation to Sisian and I've circled that. The border runs right through it.

Azerbaijani forces have reportedly partially withdrawn. There's been no exchange of fire so far. Armenia has invoked CSTO's article two. Which is for launching joint consultations to align and coordinate the members response to threats.

The CSTO issued this statement, “The CSTO closely follows the developments in the border regions of Syunik province, and if necessary, actions will be taken in accordance with the Collective Security Treaty and the CSTO Charter.”

This type of stuff happens fairly often in central asia, so maybe it is just a similar salami tactics test. I don't think itlll necessarily lead to a renewed conflict, and daddy russia can pervent a real fight from ever starting.

France also has a sizable portion of the Armenian Diaspora. Behind only Russia and the US.

Gonna quote myself:

OhFunny posted:

I’ll put my money on Pashinyan’s My Step party winning the elections. The defeat in the war is a grave blow, but I have strong doubts that Armenians will return the old oligarchs like Robert Kocharyan to power so soon after they were booted out.

Kocharyan also ran on renegotiating the peace deal through more "forceful" diplomacy. Which no one believes is possible. Completely fantastical thinking.

Three dead in Armenia-Azeri clashes

Russia has intervened and brought an end to the fighting for the time being.

last week they were fighting in/near nakhchivan, but i don't think anyone was killed. i'm sure the azerbaijanis, being in a position of strength, will just continue taking random potshots at armenian soldiers for the foreseeable future

quote:

MOSCOW, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Armenia on Tuesday asked Russia to help defend it against Azerbaijan after a border clash in which it said 15 of its soldiers had been killed, 12 captured, and two combat positions had been lost.

The fighting was the worst since a 44-day war last year fought between ethnic Armenian forces and the Azeri army over the Nagorno-Karabakh enclave which killed at least 6,500 people and ended in a decisive victory for Azerbaijan.
