Armenia—Azerbaijan Conflict Aftermath: Discord in Armenia

[WMS]

Looking at the terms of the peace agreement...it doesn’t seem that bad overall. Azerbaijan gets most of its territory back - seriously did anyone think THAT wasn’t going to be part of the deal? - plus the areas it won in fighting, and a nifty new connection to its exclave. Artsakh gets to survive, for now, although reduced a bit in the N-K region proper and having lost all the areas they and Armenia conquered from Azerbaijan back in the 1990s except for the Lachin connection with Armenia. I’m certain the Azeris will show lots of footage of returning Azeri and Kurdish refugees who were themselves ethnically cleansed by the Armenians back then to counter charges that they’re themselves engaged in such actions. Russians and Turks on the ground as peacekeepers.

It could’ve been much worse for the Armenians. The future will doubtless see more problems in the area but I don’t know what the Armenian protestors think the current Armenian government could’ve done differently.

Do the Armenian nationalists actually think they can defeat Azerbaijan and Turkey without Russian support?
