Dangerous situation in the South Caucasus: with #Russia tied up in the #Ukraine, lots of media attention on developments there this past week, the South Caucasus appears all but stable 2 years after the war in #NagornoKarabakh, #Armenia proper now appears in the crosshairs.

#Azerbaijan's leadership officially demanding a corridor through southern #Armenia towards its Nakhichevan exclave, Armenian not so clear on their stance at times, #Iran stating it will provide one through its own territory... a lot of speculation on this topic.
Comes 3 weeks after the last ethnic Armenians left the Lachin area, the main road there linking #NagornoKarabakh and #Armenia was transferred to Azeri control, Russian peacekeepers redployed to the new road built by Azerbaijan a few kilometres south.
Also comes a bit over a month after a Bayraktar UAV was used against Karabkhi military positions in an area custodied by Russia's peacekeepers, killing at least 3, wounding 14 ethnic Armenian troops, with Azeris taking new heights.
The situation remains even more uncertain than before the 2020 war. The Nagorno Karabakh topic encompases major powers, US, Russia, NATO, Turkey, Iran, the EU, energy security, possible ruptures of geopolitical alliances, etc.. It's worth following up on.
