Armenia—Azerbaijan Conflict Aftermath: Discord in Armenia

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Useful reminder that there is a logical and relatively 'fair' solution to this long-term Question, of course.

A case of 'certain defeat' meeting 'not wishing to consume more than can be safely digested' - or perhaps 'realising the implications to carefully built international friendships of actually going through with full-bore ethnic cleansing'.

It's worth pointing out that the Azeri military is still basically rubbish, but they've been able to buy their way to dominance through new technology and various forms of foreign assistance. While the Armenian military was never really that great: well motivated, certainly, but badly drilled and reliant on old Soviet equipment (now largely destroyed) and old Soviet tactics. The latter has done them in completely this time. The tiny scale of the area fought over is also important here, at least as regards the impact of drones: an area the size of Yorkshire, with N-K proper being only a little larger than Shropshire.
