Drawn Karabakh: Looking from the Future

147

Change of marks


The situation in Armenia seems to have stabilized. Nikol Pashinyan, who was aptly named "Azerbaijanian of the Year", managed to sit in his chair.

But how long has peace been established in the South Caucasus?



And what should be the further diplomatic and military movements of Russia in this region?

The emergence (or rather, the return) of a new extremely active and not always friendly player, Turkey, in the Transcaucasus, literally requires changes. From everyone, including Russia.

Drawn Karabakh: Looking from the Future

It is no secret that in the Kremlin, with Pashinyan's coming to power, the attitude towards the Armenian elite, and towards the future of this country, and towards its status as a Christian outpost in the region, has radically changed. Immediately a lot of problems arose that a small Transcaucasian country endowed Russia with.

The further fate of Armenia began to interest Moscow only in the context of its own geopolitical interests, which is understandable and logical.

The successive and hating authorities of Armenia had thirty years to solve the problem of the occupied territories. But a solution never appeared, with all the abundance of options, the corresponding UN resolutions and support for integration structures like the EAEU, CSTO, etc. etc.

But the Karabakh cart did not budge.

Arm and wait?


It seemed to the Armenians that the conflict was frozen for centuries.

The retribution for this delusion was cruel.

About ten years ago, Azerbaijani leader Ilham Aliyev made a fundamental decision to create a new type of army in the republic.


In addition, he accepted the offer of "Erdogan's friend", which was extremely difficult to refuse. Azerbaijan began to buy heavy weapons from Turkey and Russia. Thousands of Azerbaijani officers have been trained in Turkish military universities.

Two years ago, a dress rehearsal and reconnaissance was held, as a result of which about a hundred fighters died on both sides. At the same time, a fundamental decision was made to introduce Turkish Drones "Bayraktar" (Bayraktar), which was assigned the mission of the main coordinator of long-range artillery. It was a "home-made" of the Azerbaijani side.

The Kremlin calculated the next Karabakh war "from a to z". All its consequences were predicted and analyzed. A number of behind-the-scenes negotiations were also held with Aliyev and the general staff of his republic.

As a result, it was decided to take the position of an outside observer until Azerbaijan returns all the territories that had been taken away from it.

Shusha became a stumbling block.

It was not by chance that the main bargaining flared up because of her. From the convenient positions of Shushi, the Azerbaijani army with its long-range artillery is capable of covering the capital of Karabakh - Stepanakert.

As a result, apparently, the most experienced Aliyev made such proposals to the Kremlin that outweighed the need to cover up its traditional ally - Armenia. Azerbaijan was actually allowed to take Shusha. And he took it.

Defeat was programmed


With Nikol Pashinyan, who at that time was vigorously clearing out his general staff from pro-Russian officers, no one was going to conduct such negotiations. In fact, the defeat of Armenia was programmed.

The Azerbaijani army did not shine with any new military thought and new technology (except for the "Bayraktar") in this theater of military operations. In fact, it acted according to the "Afghan patterns" well-known in the Russian General Staff.

But even they were too tough for the renewed Armenian generals. After the end of the campaign, the exemplary flogging of the Armenian elite quickly ended, which, fortunately, did not turn into a repetition of the events of 1915 or 90s.

Now the Armenians of Stepanakert will live under the gun of the Azerbaijani artillery. And it seems that the Kremlin is convinced that this will have a very good sobering effect for the Armenian elite.

Although Shusha itself is now also under the gun of the Ulyanovsk airborne brigade, which is densely settled in Karabakh. Such is the "policy of checks and balances" with the participation of long-range artillery - new "colors" of the Kremlin's Caucasian policy.

Little of. Many experts and political strategists (mostly of Armenian origin) hysterically warned the Russian elite about the prospect of an inevitable Turkishization of Transcaucasia. But in the Kremlin, they began to perceive this with Olympic calmness (which was not the case before, in principle).

To "turn" everyone?


Turkish expansion into Georgia and Azerbaijan was inevitable from the moment these republics gained their sovereignty. The former Soviet Transcaucasia is a kind of geopolitical piston of a huge region. If one player leaves, another will immediately come.

And all that the “proud” elites of the Caucasian quasi-states are capable of (and really can do) is to change their masters. And that is not on their own. They will never be independent players in the region.

Russia has not expressed a great desire to return to the region filled with problems.

With the same Georgia, any diplomatic relations have been frozen for many years. The Kremlin remembered her only when it was necessary to pull out another poisoned Georgian splinter from its body and "squeeze out" another region (Abkhazia, South Ossetia) as punishment.

And always with some kind of local war, some upheavals, casualties among the Russian peacekeepers ... Only in South Ossetia, in the course of the eight-day war, half a company of Russian paratroopers-peacekeepers died.


And Receb Tayyip Erdogan today is one of the most intelligible partners of Moscow. And the Kremlin, it seems, is not opposed to having one instead of a kaleidoscope and flickering of small scandalous and unpredictable kings in the region. But predictable and at least relatively reliable.

Erdogan's trump cards


Although it is difficult to call Erdogan absolutely reliable, you see. Indeed, in his geopolitical deck there are several trump cards, which our violent and problematic Transcaucasian neighbors do not have in sight.

First. Turkey is a real self-sufficient state with its clearly defined national interests (in contrast to the Transcaucasian quasi-states). She, unlike the neighboring pygmies, will never look for a new owner overseas.

It is always easier to deal with such states. Leaders of such countries, as a rule, remember well their reputation and momentary image, knowing what loss of face means. Especially in the East.

Second. According to Putin, Erdogan is always predictable and always keeps his word. And if it crosses the red lines somewhere, then it is quickly put in place - including in its geopolitical underbelly (Syria), as well as in its own territory.

Third. An excellent deterrent to a possible Turkish expansion in the Transcaucasus is the presence in the neighboring region of an entire army of "Putin's foot soldier" Ramzan Kadyrov, loyal to Russia.

And the question of replacing part of the Ulyanovsk airborne brigade with Chechen "infantrymen" seems to be only a matter of time. Pro-Turkish militants have clashed with Chechens in Syria many times.

They will never tease this mountain wolf unnecessarily. Moreover, Ramzan himself has long dreamed of “forcing” someone to peace in the neighboring region.

And the Armenian people will now have to live for centuries with another poisoned thorn in their hearts - after the loss of Ararat and the vast territories adjacent to it.

Alas, such is the price of the shortsightedness, vanity, and arrogance of his modern elite.

History, as you know, does not teach anyone anything. But he takes cruel revenge for her ignorance.

        Armenian Defense Minister Vagharshak Harutyunyan considers it necessary to change the structure of the country's army. With such a statement, he spoke at the government hour in parliament. 24 March, answering the questions of the deputies. In particular, Harutyunyan drew attention to gradual merging of the armies of Azerbaijan and Turkey. To counter the threat posed to Armenia by the Turkish-Azerbaijani tandem, according to the Minister of Defense, structural reforms are needed and raising to a new level of cooperation with Russia.

                  About shishani just enchanting nonsense. Even to think about sending them to defend Christians against Muslims, it must be contrived. Each Chechen teip has relatives in Turkey and neighboring regions. In Syria, the situation is completely different, Muslims maintain order among Muslims in long-defended territories, they do not participate in battles.
                  From the latest news:

                  At the end of February, the elected Prime Minister of Libya, Abdul-Hamid Dbeiba (PNS, which the Turks support), met with Ramzan Kadyrov.

                  The parties expressed their interest in further building up cooperation in the fight against terrorism.
                  The Libyan Prime Minister will soon send a delegation to address issues of training Libyan special forces at the Russian Special Forces University in Gudermes.

            I myself live in the Caucasus, I have been to Chechnya more than once. So, from PERSONAL experience I can say that in Chechnya they understood (albeit not immediately) that there is no point in fighting Russia. And portraits of Putin hang there at every step, because they see in him the one who gave the republic peace and the opportunity to live in accordance with his way of life. He is REALLY respected there.

            Yes, there are supporters of radical Islam there, as in all the Caucasian republics (and not only in the Caucasian ones). But there are only a few of them. And the attitude towards the Russians has changed there, and, moreover, strongly and for the better. Especially to those who lived there before the war. Chechens perceive them as their own. And they would not mind if they returned. It's another matter that in the eyes of the Russians, Chechnya will not become an attractive region for life for a long time. The wounds are still fresh, and life in the republic is very different from the life of the rest of Russia. However, this should not always be perceived as a negative point. What is wrong, for example, in the fact that many stores there hang signs "no alcohol, don't even ask" (seen with my own eyes)?

            As for relations with Turkey, it is extremely unlikely that in the event of a conflict with Turkey, they will go over to their side. Islam is Islam, but even in Russia no one forbids them to pray to Allah, and the Turks have the ability, wherever they assert their power, to pursue a policy of otumanization, as is the case with the Kurds, who actively resist this policy. There is no need to guess how the Chechens will perceive such steps.

            This is roughly the picture in reality. So you, Vadim, are wrong.

      What will happen to Karabakh? I think the answer is simple. In the fifth year of the truce, Armenia and Azerbaijan will not agree, 4 years of peace with the Russian peacekeepers will do their job, the people of Karabakh do not need war. They will understand that peace is possible only with Russia. As a result, there will be a Karabakh referendum on joining Russia. Any military solution to territorial problems in the former Soviet republics pushes towards Russia, because people are beginning to understand that peace is possible only within Russia.

    The author-history is a "collection of facts" how not to do, this is what she teaches! You wrote the article as if you were a Turk, and you need to impose your opinion about the inevitability of a presence on these lands, but everything is simple, the Turks are strong there, where we, including our diplomacy, are weak. We rely on the local elites, they are displaced, or they scatter, the Turks act in a complex manner, they invest in one or another former republic, they carry out a creeping expansion, they spend money on creating jobs there, but for this they receive at least, loyalty to yourself. And in the future, and control, as in Abkhazia, for example! It was high time for us to act in the same way, the example of uk-roin, the Kremlin's stake on yanyka, complete ignore of nationalists, the result of a deplorable loan of 3 billion dollars, we naturally will never get back, yanyk cowardly fled, uk-roinu was seized by nationalists! The Kremlin's "bet on the wrong horse" is yielding such disastrous results. And we need to act in a comprehensive manner, to recognize the Donbass, to start actively and openly helping it, including in terms of returning land from Ukraine to the republics, and therefore to Russia. ..

      We supported the Armenians in the first Karabakh war because of the nationalist Elchibey in Baku, having the same in Yerevan, if we supported Baku, then we did not have the 102nd WB in Armenia either (according to agreements with Armenia, the Russian Federation departed the 127th MRD reduced staff, which later became the 102nd WB) ...
      Turks they act in a comprehensive manner, they invest in one or another former republic, they carry out a creeping expansion, they spend money to create jobs there

      I beg you, Turks are working everywhere in Adjara, not locals, Turks open a business and after that they bring personnel from Turkey, there is a creeping occupation of a part of Georgia, respectively, the Georgians have exchanged Russians for Turks ...

      Within the boundaries that he is now the Russian Federation is not profitable ...
      If we recognize it now, then the expansion of the territory of Donbass at the expense of the territory of Ukraine can only be with the help of the Russian Federation, and the Russian Federation is not profitable, because The Russian Federation will be considered as an aggressor towards Ukraine ...
      It's another matter if the Ukrainian Armed Forces start an offensive against the LPR and DPR, unrecognized by the Russian Federation, then, while protecting its citizens, the Russian Federation can expand Donbass at the expense of the entire territory of the Left-Bank Ukraine, at least ... will not, because to lose the industrial East and the entire Azov region they cannot handle ...
      start actively and openly helping him

      The Russian Federation is already helping, in contrast to the gasified Ukraine, there is not a gasified Voronezh region nearby .... an echo of the former Union and "equal opportunities and prosperity" of its Republics ....

          Three civilizations have formed in the World - these are:
          - the civilization of the West (many different states under the leadership of the hegemon);
          - the civilization of the East (many different states united by faith);
          - and Russian civilization (a single state with different peoples and religions).
          The differences between them lie in their culture. This is most clearly expressed in their beliefs, which lay down the basic principles of the world perception of their peoples:
          - Christianity;
          - Buddhism;
          - Orthodoxy.

Now the Korean civilization is independent and has every chance of becoming stronger than the Japanese. In addition, within the Korean civilization, there is a division into North, South and overseas Koreans. Or take the Finns. What civilization should they be attributed to? Orthodox and Protestants there are considered representatives of the same civilization or different ?. Are Karelians and Finns one people or different peoples? Some consider all the Finno-Uror peoples of the Povozhye to be Finns. And what was the attitude of the state security agencies of the USSR to the representatives of the Finns? It seems that only those who belonged to the Finnish nation, practically from the moment of birth, were brought up with a personal file in the KGB.

    The Kremlin calculated the next Karabakh war "from a to z".

    The author is wishful thinking. The Kremlin was taken by surprise by this war, and the military generally slept through and therefore the destruction of air defense and armored vehicles of the allies looked so spectacular.

    Azerbaijan was actually allowed to take Shusha. And he took it.

    Azerbaijan asked no one for permission to liberate its Shusha or not.

    The Azerbaijani army did not shine with any new military thought and new technology (except for the "Bayraktar") in this theater of military operations. In fact, it acted according to the "Afghan patterns" well-known in the Russian General Staff.

    Yah? In addition to drones, they were used "according to Afghan patterns" ??? fool loitering ammunition, high-precision bombs and operational-tactical missiles, long-range anti-tank systems of the third generation, modern electronic warfare systems, decoys and further on the list.

    Although Shusha itself is now also under the gun of the Ulyanovsk airborne brigade, which is densely settled in Karabakh.

    However ... If the artillery of the Ulyanovsk airborne brigade finishes off to the enemy, then the enemy finishes off to the Ulyanovsk airborne brigade. In other words, the Ulyanovsk airborne brigade is under the gun of the Turkish artillery.

    And always with some kind of local war, some upheavals, casualties among the Russian peacekeepers ...

    Peacekeepers? Did they have a mandate of 8.8.8 or did the author himself decide that they were peacekeepers?

    Erdogan's trump cards

    In general, especially nonsense about "Putin's infantryman" loyal to Russia, Ramzan Kadyrov "He is devoted only to himself and how he says to" Allah. " If he has to make a choice between Putin and fellow believers, then the choice is obvious.

      However ... If the artillery of the Ulyanovsk airborne brigade finishes off to the enemy, then the enemy finishes off to the Ulyanovsk airborne brigade. In other words, the Ulyanovsk airborne brigade is under the gun of the Turkish artillery.

      Professor do not slip into a madhouse ... The author confused the 31st Ulyanovsk DShBr. from the 15th MRB. (peacekeeping) which has no PA at all in the state .... accordingly, neither the Turks, nor the Azerbaijanis, nor anyone else can be under the gun of the Russian MS, and even more so the airborne brigade ...
      And there is no Turkish PA either in the NKR or in Azerbaijan, so the "tag" cannot be at gunpoint of the Turks ....
      Peacekeepers? Did they have a mandate of 8.8.8 or did the author himself decide that they were peacekeepers?

      The parties to the conflict decided that the "tag" would perform the functions of the MC (see clauses 3-6 of the Agreement), indicated the boundaries of the MC posts and their areas of responsibility .... and enshrined this in the Agreement ...
      .... the Agreement states that the UN Commissioner for Refugees is involved in the implementation of the implementation of this Agreement ....

    With Nikol Pashinyan, who at that time was vigorously clearing out his general staff from pro-Russian officers, no one was going to conduct such negotiations.

    According to Putin, he led with both. Pashinyan was asked to allow Azerbaijani refugees to return to Shushi, after which hostilities ceased. He refused - they say it is unacceptable.
    The Azerbaijani army did not shine with any new military thought and new technology (except for the "Bayraktar") in this theater of military operations. In fact, it acted according to the "Afghan patterns" well-known in the Russian General Staff.

    Spikes, Haropes, Czech self-propelled guns in conjunction with UAVs and DRGs. The pattern is not Afghan, but Afri.

      Russia's loss in Karabakh is primarily a military-political one. Turkey has shown the benefits of an alliance with her and not the benefits of this with Russia. The East is very sensitive to this. Military exercises of Turkey and Uzbekistan are underway right now, they have approved an agreement on military cooperation. They are also doing well with Kazakhstan, they signed a similar agreement. They need technology, knowledge, modernization of their army from Turkey. The fact that the old Soviet approach is completely outdated is already obvious to everyone. The main thing is access to European markets through Azerbaijan and Turkey. By the way, this is also beneficial for Bulgaria, most of the traffic will pass through you, infrastructure projects are also on your territory, it is also better to build joint ventures here. Therefore, your authorities are friendly to Turkish.
      Artsakh itself is no longer interesting, everyone benefits from the current situation. The Armenians and Russia have saved their face, Russia has a base and a point of pressure, Azerbaijan does not need to feed a hostile region and there is no international pressure, Turkey does not lose its importance for Azerbaijan as a military ally, the military problem remains and an increase in tension between Russia and Azerbaijan is inevitable, very similar to Georgian script.
      Azerbaijan took the empty, naturally rich areas, reached its borders, and received a corridor to Nakhichevan. So the current state of affairs is for a very long time.

            Under Pashinyan, many well-known personalities who especially knew how to fight were accused of corruption. Are you aware of the judicial confirmation of these charges? My sources claim that under the guise of combating corruption, Pashinyan removed persons he disliked from the military leadership. For example, a military general was accused of stealing several cans of stew, although this man had expensive contracts to ensure defense.

        In principle, Aliyev never pursued an openly anti-Russian policy and did not allow his country to be drawn into an active clash with Russia. Surely Azerbaijan is interested in a counterbalance that will support its independence in the economic sphere in case of aggravation of relations with Turkey or Iran. or with UK investors. But as a purely political partner without interaction in the economy, technology, and industry, no one in the world is particularly interested in Russia now.

            Aliyev could not help but take advantage of the chance that the Armenian leadership gave him to return the lands lost in the 1990s. It makes no sense for Russia to get involved in hostilities if the Armenian leadership itself does not recognize the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh or its belonging to Armenia. In addition, the special services of Armenia effectively and professionally interned all Armenians who came through Armenia to fight in Nagorno-Karabakh during the October war.

So, according to Richard Hoagland (he served as co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group in January-August 2017): “It is absolutely clear that Moscow does not want a war in Nagorno-Karabakh, Moscow does not want a war between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

                  a problem that Russia and America can work on together. " Today, Karabakh actually remains a unique case in the post-Soviet space, where the approaches of Moscow and Washington do not differ radically from each other. Both Russian and American diplomats see the basis for a peaceful solution in the implementation of the "updated Madrid principles" (also known as "basic").

                      And whose land does it claim? George, Ukraine, Japan, Moldova?

                      Neither Giorgi, nor Japan, Moldova? RF took nothing away ...
                      Ukraine,
                      from her the Russian Federation took back what was presented to her in violation of the still Soviet law ...
                      Only Azerbaijan decides when and how to liberate Karabakh.

                      Well, if he has two lives, let him go and set him free ...
                      On the other hand, why did he then sign the Agreement with the RA, could he continue to liberate the NKR?

      Hurray article! The author forgot yesterday Aliyev's statement about the possible denunciation by Azerbaijan

      Most likely, Nagorno-Karabakh should be a bargaining chip in the negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan. With this statement, Pashinyan's party seems to offer Russia to fight for the rights of the Armenian Nagorno-Karabakh, sacrificing its purely Russian interests in favor of Azerbaijan. And Armenia, for non-interference in the affairs of Nagorno-Karabakh, looks like it also intends to bargain for something from Turkey and Azerbaijan, but this has nothing to do with Artsakh. Perhaps negotiations have begun on a transport corridor from Turkey to Central Asia.

    The Kremlin calculated the next Karabakh war "from a to z".

    The situation in Armenia seems to have stabilized. Nikol Pashinyan, who was aptly named “Azerbaijanian of the Year”, managed to sit in his chair.

    And in my opinion, the person has once again lost ground. She got involved in Syria, ostensibly to prevent the broads from entering the near zone - she did. The hall will not ask permission and will easily let the militants into their region. That is why the entire geographic Caucasus should be only Russian. So that no one dares to threaten the Kuban, Stavropol and Black Sea regions. But for this it is necessary to break through the knee the local feudal order, to displace the local princelings ... But the person will not have enough will for this. Of course, this is not knitting students.

        That's right, that's why there must be a strong rear inside the country, that is, a sincerely loyal people. Not forced state employees who were ordered to smile. But for this you have to cut and not reckon with ranks and wealth. Which again leads us to political will ... which the person does not have.

            About the wheelhouse, I spoke about the rear, which I mentioned, that is, inside the country to clear Avdeev's stables. And when it turns out to establish firm order and finally the country begins to breathe evenly, the time will come for the Caucasus. The return of Russia there as the sole ruler is inevitable. This is the decree of fate.

    But how long has peace been established in the South Caucasus?
    Do not worry. For a long time.
    and to its status as a Christian outpost in the region.
    Are you in the sense that the problems of Armenia were to be dealt with not by the secular authorities, but by Patriarch Kirill or Pope Francis?
    that outweighed the need to cover up the traditional ally - Armenia.
    Why would an eternally pro-American Armenia suddenly become considered our ally? Yes, she strenuously pretended that she was our "ally". From "pretending" to "being" is a huge distance.
    Pashinyan, Pashinyan ... What does Pashinyan have to do with it?
    The only difference between Pashinyan and Sargsyan is that Pashinyan sometimes allows himself to say what he thinks.
    Is it under Pashinyan that the US Embassy in Armenia reached 2,5 personnel?
    Was it Pashinyan who allowed the United States to equip American bacteriological laboratories in Armenia that collect DNA samples ??
    Is it Pashiyan who was awarded a special medal in the USA: "Ellis Island Medal" (a public medal, but recognized by the US Congress and highly respected, there is practically not a single former US President who has not been awarded this medal), which is given "for a special contribution to the development of relations this or that state with the USA ".
    But Sargsyan received such a medal back in 2011, during his visit to the United States. Apparently just for allowing the activity of US bacteriological laboratories on the territory of Armenia. As soon as he assumed the post of President of Armenia (in 2008), he allowed it (in 2009). By the time Sargsyan left, there were already 12 such US bacteriological laboratories in Armenia.
    Was it Pashinyan on the day of the national holiday of Armenia (Flag Day) on May 18, 2016, with his entire retinue in the center of Yerevan, was opening a monument to Nazi Nzhdeh? No, Pashinyan was nothing then. And the monument to Nazi Nzhdeh was opened by Serzh Sargsyan with his retinue.
    Sargsyan and all previous presidents of Armenia, just like Pashinyan, focused exclusively on the United States. But they knew how to keep their mouths shut and did not forget to periodically loudly praise Russia.

    The largest US embassy in the world LOST this war to Azerbaijan. We were just waiting for the corpses of pro-American Armenians to be thrown into the dustbin of history by other Armenians. Primakov also told the Armenians "return the occupied lands to Azerbaijan, they will have to return", but "the proud brave victors of the great Karabakh war" only crooked their oblique noses and sold themselves wholesale and retail, whoever praised them sweeter and gave more. The result is obvious - you cannot keep someone else's for a long time, you will overstrain.
