Not the end of the story

Azerbaijan has finally gained control over the Armenian enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh, also known as the Republic of Artsakh, however this isn’t the end of the story.

European bias

According to Reuters, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev accused the European Union on siding with Armenia after pulling out of talks with the Armenian government brokered by Brussels.

The French connection

Aliyev singled out France and its promise to provide military equipment to Armenia, website Politico highlights.

Blaming France

Azerbaijan argues that France is to blame for any armed conflict it might engage with its smaller neighbor in the future.

Buying weapons from Israel

Meanwhile, CNN reported that Azerbaijan bought a wide array of drones, mortars, and missiles from Israel between 2010 and 2020.

A one-day war

The Azerbaijani government recovered control of Nagorno-Karabakh in a large-scale military offensive between September 19 and 20, 2023.

The Republic of Artsakh

The breakaway Republic of Artsakh, which has been fighting for survival since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, was no more.

A disputed zone, to say the least

In the past, Azerbaijan has engaged in two wars to try to take over the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

Death blow

However, this final push seems to have been the death blow for the Armenian control in the area.

More than 120,000 Armenians have fled

Most of the 120,000 Armenians that lived in Nagorno-Karabakh were forced to flee, according to Al Jazeera.

Impeding invasion?

Now the Armenian government warns that its much bigger neighbor could invade at any moment now.
