NAGORNO-KARABAKH: TOWARDS THE Azerbaijani-TURKISH FINAL OFFENSIVE. Are we heading towards a new massacre of Armenians like in 1915?
End of diplomatic negotiations, drones and cannons are talking. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev officially announced that his country cannot afford further "futile negotiations" with Armenia over the long-disputed Nagorno-Karabakh, while new fighting continues in the region.
In an interview with Al Jazeera, published on Saturday, Aliyev said that the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) group on Nagorno-Karabakh, co-chaired by the United States, France and Russia, for 28 years to mediate a solution, but to no avail “. So there is no more room for negotiation and " We are unable to hear statements like" Stop it, we will work (together), we will negotiate, we will help ". We have heard it many times. We don't have time to wait another 30 years. The conflict must be resolved now ”.
At this point diplomacy withdraws, and as if we were in the nineteenth century, cannons come into action, but, as we are in the twenty-first century, this is followed by drones, tanks and aviation. On the Armenian side there is talk of an Azeri drone attack in the properly Armenian territory, with at least 3 shot down from anti-aircraft positions, presumably S300, as you can see from this image:
Why is Armenia keen to point out that there have been direct attacks on its territory? Because this can trigger the Collective Security Treaty Organization, CSTO, the Organization of the Collective Security Treaty, that is, the mutual defense agreement between Moscow and Yerevan. The nagorno Karabakh is not a party to this agreement which only covers a threat to the properly Armenian territory. Strangely, Armenia has not yet attempted, and has not done so in the last 30 years, to have the enclave recognized as its territory.
Azerbaijan can at this moment count on the strong help from the brothers of Turkey, while the Russian intervention in favor of Armenia has not yet materialized in the same dimensions. Armenia militarily cannot stand up to a military confrontation against Turkey, so without Russian or Western assistance Nagorno Karabakh will almost certainly pass under Turkish-Azerbaijani control.
At this point we cannot fail to recall what happened to the Armenians in Turkey a century ago, when in 1915 they were subjected to a horrible genocide that reduced their number from 2 million to 60 thousand. The most ancient Christian people were practically exterminated by the Turks, in ways told by the survivor Aurora (Arshaluys) Mardiganian and that would have horrified the Middle Ages.
What can stop the Azeri-Turks from repeating a similar massacre in Nagorno Karabakh? If you think that times are different, that there are media, etc, I would like to remind you that in 1995, under the eyes of the Dutch UN soldiers, the Serbs massacred the population of Srebrenica. Absolutely nothing has changed.
