Well, it makes sense considering Russia has done nothing to stop Azerbaijan from attacking Armenia.
But why would Russia, which I’m told is a great anti-imperialist force, side with Azerbaijan over a country they have a defense pact with?
Surely it wouldn’t be because of something as materialistic as oil… Somewhere in Moscow there is a think tank frantically thinking of a way to blame this on NATO.
Maybe they’ll intervene Armenia now that its leader is obviously compromised
Mostly true, but minor correction, Azerbaijan didn’t attack Armenia, they attacked the Armenians in their occupied territories.
Sure. But it’s Azerbaijan according to international law. So it’s simply false to say “Azerbaijan attacked Armenia”, because Armenia refers to certain internationally agreed upon territory, which doesn’t cover the area Azerbaijanis attacked, regardless of your opinions on whether it was justified or not.
Not only though. In September 2022, Azerbaijan attacked and occupied internationally recognized Armenian territory near Jermuk and still does to this day. When Armenia requested help to deal with the occupation, Russia’s response was that it’s not clear where the border is.
Yeah, that’s the Azerbaijani’s excuse, too. But to be fair, “occupying” a tiny piece of land for defensive purposes, after being occupied by 30% for 30 years barely counts as “attacking”. It’s overdefending.
