As there is a bit of a kerfuffle again in the South Caucasus... a quick explainer:

• russian "peacekeepers" and Karabakh Armenians used the Lachin road, which passes through Azerbaijan, to smuggle weapons and ammunition from Armenia to Karabakh.
• to stop this Azerbaijan
1/12

built a border post on the Lachin road and insists on inspecting all trucks.
• the Karabakh Armenians insist that Azerbaijan has no right to inspect what is being transported through Azerbaijan into Azerbaijan.
• in Brussel Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed to open the Aghdam
2/12

road from Azerbaijan to Karabakh, and agreed that on this road there would be no inspections at all.
• but the Karabakh Armenians blocked that road and
• now the Karabakh Armenians insist that they are starving...

The problem is that Armenia wants peace, Azerbaijan wants
3/12

peace, but the Karabakh Armenians want to create a crisis that will lead to a war, that they hope will lead to other countries coming to Karabakh and fight Azerbaijan for them.

No one is coming to help these loons.

Not even russia, which is prodding them to continue with
4/12

the "starvation" charade. And most certainly not the rabidly fanatic Armenian diaspora is going to come & help the Karabakh Armenians.

In the early 1990s the Karabakh Armenians fought a war of conquest, invaded the neighboring regions, chased the entire population of these
5/12

regions away, then razed all the cities, towns, and villages to the ground, then declared that the conquered regions, where 100,000s of Azerbaijanis had lived, to be part of a ethnically pure Armenian Karabakh.
For almost 30 years all countries of the world told the Karabakh
6/12

Armenians they have to return those regions. They refused. In 2020 Azerbaijan had enough of the stalling and retook them by force.

Not one country of the world condemned Azerbaijan. Armenia realized that the jig us up and that the only way to protect the Karabakh Armenians
7/12

is to make peace with Azerbaijan - a peace that includes a South Tyrol like autonomy for the Karabakh Armenians.

But the Karabakh Armenians still delude themselves that the countries like France or russia will come to conquer Azerbaijani lands for them...

No one is coming.
8/12

They have lied nonstop - to themselves & the world: lies like "These regions were always empty", "Azerbaijan totally destroyed our capital", "Azerbaijan wants to genocide us"... Now the lie about "being starved".

They can either continue with this nonsense... or make peace.
9/12

For 30 years the Karabakh Armenians held Armenia hostage and subjugated the future of 3 million Armenians to the radical agenda of 150k Karabakh Armenians.

Even Armenians are fed up with the Karabakh clowns. Armenians have wasted 30 years of economic development and 1000s
10/12

of their sons for the delusions of a Greater Armenian, that the Karabakh Armenians and the Armenian diaspora wanted the Armenians of Armenia to die for.

Armenians of Armenia are finally free of this delusion - if the Karabakh Armenians insist on continuing it, they will
11/12

be all alone. The world has been telling them for 30 years to stop with the nonsense and make peace.

Either the Karabakh Armenians make peace now or they destroy their future... it is up to them, but they are so delusional and radical, that I don't have much hope for them.
