Armenia is part of CSTO – Collective Security Treaty Organization akin to NATO which is a Russia-led military alliance of seven former Soviet states and Azerbaijan is not a part of the group. The CSTO’s mission is to secure the collective defence of any member that faces external threat and if tensions escalate, Armenia can always invoke the CSTO.
Azerbaijan was founded in 1918 after the collapse of Tzarist Russia. Before that Azerbaijan was part of different empires and dynasties - mostly of Persia. The word “Azerbaijan” is a Persian word meaning land of fire and Azeris are Turkified Iranian people, they spoke old Azeri which is Persian. The Azeris are nice people and good friends of Israel.
The Armenians are a small people with large claims to lost territories (see map).
So far, Azerbaijan is winning on account of Israeli and Turkish drones. You can see many killcams of drones targeting trucks, tanks, and artillery from the Azerbaijan ministry of defense, verified by outside experts.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't have drones on today's battlefield you can forget about it.
Turkey has a respected weapons industry, including drones. We too are arming the Azeris. They will re-occupy Nagorno Karabach in a few weeks. If the Russians do not send troops. If the Americans do not bomb Baku. I hope it will not spread.
