__________________
Welcome to Episode 1 of the Geopolitics Snapshot, where we take a look at current geopolitical events that are shaping the world around us!
This time we take a look at the Caucasus: On April 19th 2024, it was reported that Armenia and Azerbaijan reached an agreement to delineate a part of their Northern border. Four abandoned Azerbaijani villages that were occupied by Armenia since the 1990s will be returned to Baku's jurisdiction.
Although the change in territorial control is limited, it's a huge step towards a formal peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan. However, there are still many pitfalls. In this video, we explore the details of this new agreement, what the territorial transfer and the delineation of the border will mean for Armenia and Azerbaijan down the line and why a military conflict could still emerge, especially over the Zangezur Corridor.

    The Zangezur corridor was accepted by Armenia but has not been implemented so far. I think Armenia expects hope from Iran, France or another foreign power in this regard, Because if the Zangezur corridor is opened, this does not only mean the unification of Azerbaijan with Nakhchivan. Türkiye will unite with the Central Asian Turks and Iran will be left out of the equation. Undoubtedly, many countries, especially Russia, China and Iran, will not want Turkey to be influential in Central Asia, but there is not much they can do at this point.

    No Armenia did not accept the Zanguezur corridor. And even if you interpret the 2020 ceasefire agreement where Armenia pledged to: "guarantee the security of transport connections between the western regions of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic in order to arrange unobstructed movement of persons, vehicles, and cargo in both directions" as a corridor, that agreement has become null and void as a result of Azerbaijan's actions last September. That's like a homeowner evicting a tenant and then demanding him to keep paying rent even though he no longer lives there.

    Iranian here. I don't really think "separatism" is the main concern with Azerbaijan Republic taking over Syunik province. The border that Iran and Armenia share holds invaluable strategic importance for trade and defense to Iran and being cut off from Armenia which is a trade partner is not a favorable outcome. Also the current regime in Iran is increasingly worried about the relations between Azerbaijan Republic and Israel and hence doesn't like the idea of having Israel's presence on its north western borders alongside NATO. This is also at a time when the chauvinistic and irredentist rhetoric of the current government in Republic of Azerbaijan is extremely worrying and goes as far as some officials including president Aliyev going as far as calling Armenia "West Azerbaijan". I would like to add the official position of Islamic Republic (the current regime in Iran) has always been support of the territorial integrity of Republic of Azerbaijan based on internationally recognized borders, it is the change in borders between Iran and Armenia that worries Iran to the point that Azerbaijan and Iran made plans to create a separate corridor going through Iran for connecting Baku to Nakhchivan.

    ​​@@Racoons-hi5dhWell, the “Zionists” at least have evidence of their Jewish heritage in the region of Israel today. But the Azeri people (whom they claim are “Turks”) are from Central Asia and Iran, and are not indigenous to the region, at all, they came through invasions and colonies. And... The Azeri people are also not original Turks, as they claim to be, they are actually "turkified" Persians derived from the Persians living in around Central Asia and today's Iran. So basically Persians who adopted Turkic culture and language. Basically the Azeri people are fake people. So yeah, their identity is complicated Also, I'm not someone from Middle East or Europe just to be clear, so no bias. Edit: KZread has shadowed my comment, it looks like KZread love Azerbaijan more

    When people will understand that just because a nation lived 2000 years ago doesn't make that land theirs. Azerbaycan defended those lands in Safevi, Akkoyunlu, and Karakoyunlu times. If Armenians were obsessed that much with their lands, why did they not fight for those lands when enemies came? Also, Armenia converted mosques into barns.

    Have just come back from a research trip in Armenia, and truth be told from what we've heard from various officials and local actors, developments since September 2023 paints a sad situation that will likely see the gradual loss of Armenian sovereignty. Armenia plays a diplomatic role in this conflict due to its military incapability, but strategically and diplomatically, it is completely outmatched with little hope of retaliation should Azerbaijan wish to invade. The country is beautiful from Yerevan to its countryside with many local actors and international intermediaries trying to make the best out of this situation, but with its best military hope being materiel sent from India, a preoccupied Iran and Russia, the future for the Armenian people doesn't look hopeful.

    Azerbaijan doesn't seem to want to Invade, they have a set of issues that they are trying to solve. As the victor of the latest conflict, it is asking for certain things. Instead of using this as a chance to get a fair deal for itself, Armenian folks are preoccupied with what used to be there's. If they could work out an economic deal and a diplomatic deal that would improve relations with all countries in the region, this would improve Armenia as a whole. Azerbaijan invading doesn't makes sense because what would it do with Armenian towns and cities. Even if those countries help Armenia, Turkey would get involved immediately with what ever they have. This warmongering needs to stop.

    Let's be honest. If Armenia wants to achieve peace, it should make an agreement with the Turks, namely Turkey and Azerbaijan. Not with third countries that try to keep the tension alive for their own interests, feed on this tension and send Armenian youth to di* for this. After World War I, the story of the Turks was based on heroism, while the story of the Armenians stood still on victimization. Armenians living in prosperity in Europe and America are very insistent on the continuation of the situation of Armenians living in poverty in Armenia, but none of them return to their beloved (!) country and fight for it. How many more centuries do they plan to proceed with unproven accusations against the Turks, with a claim of genocide whose number of so-called victims increases geometrically every year? Even though Turkey has repeatedly invited they to do this, they are not willing to confront or sue Turkey, but they want the whole world to recognize this issue. It is very important to read the words of the first Armenian prime minister, Ovanes Kacaznuni, on this issue. Although I heard that Pashinyan has started talking about the truth lately. Ultimately, I hope that Armenians living in Armenia will now realize what really harms them and can clearly define their borders and start moving forward to become a strong country.

Now that Karabakh is under Azerbaijani control, the reasonable thing for Azerbaijan to do is to cede the Nakhchivan Exclave over to Armenia in return. Territories need to be drawn up in a way so as to remove any incentives to continue on fighting.

    Because before the arrival of the Russian Empire, Armenia was captured by the Azerbaijani Khanates and ruled by them for about 50-100 years, and it is from there that the name Karabakh, this is the name of the khanate! After the death of Nadir Shah in 1746, Azerbaijan became independent and was divided into different Khanates, and the Erivan Khanate and the Zangizur Khanate were founded there, as well as the Karabakh Khanate, it is from this point of view that Azerbaijan really claims the whole of Armenia and the northern regions of Iran, so that the Azerbaijani khanates in 1748 became independent of the Iranian Shahs, although the Iranian shahs were also ethnic Azerbaijani Turkomans!
