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.

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.

The thing is that we have a Church that's like 1400 years old in one of those villages and the Azeris already showed that they dont care about all these ancient stuff as they demolished most of our historic churches and buildings that were located in Artsakh and Naxijevan. Now if they get those lands they'll most likely continue destroying our heritage so that in future there will be no way for us to prove that those were our lands and that Armenians lived there

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.

@markdowding5737 4 ай бұрын

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.

This is a horrible “report” leaving out large swaths of political facts. Azerbaijan’s dictator Aliyev doesn’t recognize the lawful international territorial integrity of Armenia. The exchange of the land is tied to that issue, and it’s not a done deal. Many Armenians are against this because meanwhile Aliyev has Azerbaijan occupying 8 other territories and they were not mentioned. Also you left out that the European Union is reviewing an international case against Azerbaijan and preparing for sanctions. Azerbaijan will no longer have its own oil around 2028, so I don’t know what that report you read is about. Iran can not allow Azerbaijan to connect with Turkey, that would make them the regional power. That’s not going to happen. Not only because Azeris and Iranians hate eachother but also because the west doesn’t want an east west trade route through the Caucasus, that would create a Turkic Asian power imbalance over the west and take trade routes into Europe. The west isn’t going to allow that no matter how much your Turk friendly report dreams.

Armenia has overcome many obstacles in its history and remains steadfast. It's a country that has been referenced since 300 BC, including mentions by Herodotus (the Greek historian). Anyone in the comments trying to falsify these well-established facts is a nationalist against the Armenian people. Don’t be distracted by bot likes. One more point to add is how Azerbaijan has conducted cyber warfare and attempted to appropriate Armenian heritage, despite lacking factual basis. Azerbaijan has also been known for cultural vandalism and destruction of Armenian cultural heritage sites, such as the ancient Armenian cemetery in Julfa, Nakhchivan. Furthermore, the Azerbaijani government actively denies the Armenian Genocide, despite international recognition and overwhelming evidence of their participation in the systematic killing of Armenians in the early 20th century.

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.

@crazycowboy213 4 ай бұрын

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.

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!

From an Asian perspective: Armenia and Azerbaijan just both need to give up territories that were occupied illegally by each other back to each others' rightful possessions. Enough of being greedy with land after the Soviet break-up. We all know that the Soviets messed up the borders on order to quell ethnic uprisings. It wasn't just in Armenia and Azerbaijan. Armenia lost the last Karabakh war. Period. That was all territory recognised internationally by the UN to Azerbaijan. Armenia is basing the border delineation from a historic map that Azerbaijan agreed to, and is therefore returning the occupied land rightfully in order to prevent wars and conflict in the future. Azerbaijan needs to stop illegally killing Armenians and shooting at them in border areas as evidenced by the EU peace observers have noted and observed. The war is over. Azerbaijan is the one at fault for crossing the line now by doing so continually shooting at Armenians by the border.

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.

@gigagian 4 ай бұрын

Not that this anything to do with the way actual power brokering works, but in my view, if there is to be any hope to be of an eventual deescalation of tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan, then both nations need to make mutually balanced concessions with their respective exclaves. 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.
