USA, Turkey or Putin: world media discuss who is to blame for the war in Karabakh

48

The armed conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh is today in the center of attention not only of Russian, Armenian and Azerbaijani, but also of the world media. Different countries look at the essence of the new Armenian-Azerbaijani war and its prospects differently.

The Chinese edition of Sohu quoted the point of view of retired American admiral James Stavridis. 2009 to 2013 James Stavridis was the commander-in-chief of NATO forces in Europe, so the opinion of the 65-year-old expert is really worth listening to. Stavridis stated that, according to the forecasts of the American intelligence, Armenia is very likely to become the winner in the armed conflict. In the admiral's opinion, during his service as NATO commander-in-chief in Europe, the Azerbaijani army has repeatedly struck at Armenian positions, and the Armenians have always been able to successfully repel these attacks.



On the whole, the Chinese press tries to remain neutral in its assessments, as do its readers. However, one should not forget that China has its own problems with the Uyghurs, who are Turks and Muslims, like Azerbaijanis, and who are also supported by Turkey.

Deutsche Welle, like many other European media outlets, also declares neutrality, but warns against outside interference in the conflict. Obviously, this is a "stone in the garden" of Turkey, whose policy of President Recep Erdogan is increasingly dissatisfied in the European Union.

The author of the American publication Foreign Affairs Jeffrey Mankoff connects the escalation of the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh with the Russian-Turkish confrontation. In his opinion, the interests of Russia and Turkey contradict each other in Syria and Libya, and now they clash in the Transcaucasus. Moscow and Ankara will use the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict to sort out relations with each other and fight for spheres of influence.

The Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat views the situation in Transcaucasia from similar positions - as a Russian-Turkish confrontation. As the newspaper emphasizes, the Russian base in Gyumri, located in close proximity to the Turkish border, has long been an eyesore for Recep Erdogan. At the same time, only Russia, the author of the Saudi edition believes, is capable of restraining Erdogan's ambitions in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Resalat publication from Iran sees US policy as the main reason for the new aggravation of the Armenian-Azerbaijani contradictions. The war in the Transcaucasus, according to the publication, fits well with Washington's plans to constantly destabilize the situation in the Middle East and Central Asia.

One cannot but rejoice in the presence of sensible authors and publications in Turkey itself. So, Yusuf Karatash from Evrensel criticizes the Turkish authorities for cooperation with Syrian jihadists and supports the version that militants are being transferred from Idlib to the Transcaucasus with the direct participation of Turkey.

Bulgarians have long-standing scores with Turkey. Therefore, the audience of Bulgarian publications as a whole does not hide their sympathy for the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh. So, the readers of the "Dnevnik" edition believe: the war in the Transcaucasus is an action planned by Erdogan:

Another conflict provoked by the Turks. I am sure the Armenians will teach the Azerbaijanis a good lesson,

- writes one of the readers of the Bulgarian edition.

However, among the Bulgarian audience there are also “frostbitten” liberals-Westernizers who blame Putin for everything. For example, someone Corky writes:

Armenians will sacrifice their lives for the sake of Gazprom's interests.

          The Americans are muddying the waters. In vain or something, on the eve of the conflict, the US Embassies in Azerbaijan and Armenia simultaneously warned their citizens not to travel to the border area and Karabakh itself. We did not quite work out with Belarus, so we entered from the south. The adversaries now want to start a war on the southern border of Russia.

            Do not sin on them for nothing, your sins, and so they have enough. Here, on the contrary, Armenia's path to NATO has slowed down, and the influence of the Russian Federation has increased. Pashinyan calls Putin. Of course, he calls Macron, who is so concerned that caviar does not fit into his mouth. And they say the shelling and the downed plane, they say, hey, the Russian OBKB, let's fight ... No, the Soros guys fight yourself, but it will be bad at all, then contact us, but don't even come up without the recognition of the Russian Crimea wassat There is a reason to use Caliber on the advanced units of the AzR, they say there are Syrian terrorists, Aliyev will say thanks himself wassat

              Armenians insisted that they fought alone without weapons with Azerbaijan, Turks, Avgans, Chechens, Pakistan, etc. in fact, Russians fought instead of them. But for the recognition on the world stage, Russia is powerless, it can be seen from the Crimea, and the cunning Armenians decided to change the vector towards America. If not Putin the plan would have gone right but Putin is on his mind. During Gorbatov and Yeltsin's time, one could sacrifice the interests of Russia for a bottle of vodka. Despite the Armenian roots of the Prime Minister or Lavrov and all high-ranking Armenians in the state structures and media, Putin will not shake.

                It should be borne in mind that despite the fact that the presidents of Russia, the United States and France have already issued a joint statement on the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh, in which they sharply condemned the escalation of violence, called for an end to hostilities and the resumption of peace talks, an armed conflict - WAR - everything is happening. at the very borders of the Russian Federation!
                And of these representatives of the Minsk Group, this WAR is the most disadvantageous only for Russia in comparison with the USA and France.
                Moreover, at the same time, neither Azerbaijan nor Armenia demonstrate any particular readiness for negotiations.
                But Erdogan himself calls the desire of the Minsk Group for a cease-fire UNACCEPTABLE. The conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh is most beneficial for Erdogan himself, who does not care about the UN, the EU, or the US. His enemy is Russia.

              There is a clear trace of the Americans here, since they knew in advance that a conflict was brewing. And they knew about the conflict, because they themselves influenced it. If Russia is unable to separate the warring parties, then the CSTO will again look like a stillborn treaty and the interests of our country can be neglected.

                Well no. Armenia did not recognize the NKR itself. The NKR is not included in the CSTO. The Sorosians wanted to change our base to the American one, and even the process began. They began to spit on the media and organize anti-Russian pickets. On the contrary, if nothing had happened. then they would ask us in a year ... Karabakh people have already suffered from barrage ammunition in 2016, but instead of drawing conclusions, stopping the threat and arming themselves with this, they organized a maidan. They were not going to fight at all, but to lie under the West. There was not enough time for this. Well, who said that Russia will not interfere. It will intervene, but when necessary.

                    Is not a fact. Not for that mattresses in Armenia, the largest embassy in the entire post-Soviet space, was planted to close it ahead of schedule and bury the invested funds, if they are ready to strangle themselves for a dollar. The Turks may well be the instigators of this mess, both in terms of pressure on the United States because they support the Kurds, and in terms of the fact that they can put pressure on Russia because of the position on Syria and Libya. There, mattresses for Greece fit in because of Turkish inclinations in search of hydrocarbons in the economic zone of Greece and threaten to mumble their base in Greece in defiance of Turkish interests. As the traditions of recent times show, Edik will most likely have to try a shitty snack and get away, but nevertheless, he will have time to spoil the weather in the region for several years in advance, definitely.

        Colleagues, all this is the notorious "Anaconda" plan. The essence of which is to surround the Russian Federation with gos.vami with puppet regimes and ignite the entire perimeter of the borders of the Russian Federation with constant conflicts. Thus, scattering the attention, forces and means of the Russian Federation to secondary strikes. RF is in a position of constant tension, as it is constantly in the role of the defender.
        And I, perhaps all the same, already, I agree with those who believe that it is time for the Russian Federation to go on the offensive and take what belongs to it. Otherwise, you can simply predict where it will blaze in a circle: in the Donbass, or Transnistria, maybe in Azov, or in the Black Sea region.

    Democracy is to blame, depending on the votes of voters, the Armenian lobby varies well and politicians make a clean decision that does not meet the interests of his country for the sake of votes. In Russia, Azerbaijanis mainly trade with their petty deception and ignorance can cause antipathy, but this is not a fatal sin, but the Armenians have long been wedged in state structures and are engaged in cutting the budget and are pressured to make a decision on Karabakh based on the benefits of Armenia and not Russia.

The same is with Nisanov, he is a Jew and Jews are behind him and their business is not tied to state money, which means they replenish the budget, unlike the Armenians who are involved in government agencies and saw the budget. Nisanov benefits Azerbaijan more than Alekperov.

    The United States is to blame for organizing another Maidan in Yerevan, which led to the practical withdrawal of Armenia from the CSTO, and then forcing out all its positions in the region.

      The military-political leadership of the Russian Federation has long needed to make an inventory of all foreign policy ties with the CIS countries, each former republic should have its own individual approach ... otherwise they signed an Agreement with Armenia on military assistance right up to 2044, and what will happen in a year Armenia, we do not calculate ... then we appear for the "Soros" who came to power ....
      IRI is now the only assistant to Armenia, most likely it will demand something from the Russian Federation later, than we will pay at the risk of falling out with Israeli Jews, it’s even scary to think about it, and this despite the fact that we are still the “Little Shaitan” for IRI ...
      The IRI will have to pay the Russian Federation for aid to Armenia today, but what positions of the Russian Federation after the end of the conflict will be unknown in Armenia ...
      It is unlikely that Armenia will forgive the Russian Federation for the loss of Karabakh and, whenever the opportunity arises, it will always remind the Russian Federation of this ...

      Legally, Azerbaijan is at war on its territory, the ownership of which is not disputed even by Armenia, not recognizing the NKR. Plus, hostilities are conducted mainly not even in NKR, but in the occupied regions of Azerbaijan itself. Looking at the map of military operations, it looks like the Ayzers decided to cut off the NKR from Armenia by blows from the north and south, which, in my stupidity, they do not have such an advantage
      And the conditions for war are the sweetest, of course, in Yerevan there is a little magpie, shitting on Russia, abandoning the very process of negotiations, even a formal one with Ayzerbajan. Aliyev could not cut it here. The queue to save Armenians is somehow not visible in the world, precisely because of the mediocre position of the Armenian leadership itself

    I think Erdogan hopes, if Moscow intervenes in the conflict, to put pressure on the Kremlin with the help of the Turkish Stream. The only thing that he does not take into account is that the Kremlin, if necessary, can block the South Caucasian gas pipeline. I think that in this particular situation Moscow has a free hand for more decisive action, unlike the same Libya, for example. By the way, in the event of an armed clash with Azerbaijan, LUKoil could be squeezed out on the sly. Additional petrodollars would not hurt the budget now ...

If not Putin the plan would have gone right but Putin is on his mind. During Gorbatov and Yeltsin's time, one could sacrifice the interests of Russia for a bottle of vodka. Despite the Armenian roots of the Prime Minister or Lavrov and all high-ranking Armenians in the state structures and media, Putin will not shake.
