Reply to comment by fIreballchamp in RFE/RL: Russia is forcing Armenia to provide corridor to Azerbaijan, to join Union State, Security Council chief says by nephronum
Literally, it makes no sense to reward violent behavior, rhetoric, and inhumanitarian behavior in the interest of ethnic cleansing as an excuse to allow the violation of Armenian Sovereignty.
Today it's a corridor, tomorrow it's equal use of Sevan lakes water resources, then access for a pipeline route, etc...
The law is clear. An agreement was already signed (no corridor language except for Lachin corridor) in Nov 2020 that ended the war. It was reaffirmed in jan 2021. This is simple, Russia wants a route to/from the meditarrean that has no international controls and to solidify its relationship with Azerbaijan while blackmailing Armenia into being its military outpost.

So then maybe Turkey should stop supplying Azerbaijan with weapons and training. This isn't about Russia not wanting to cause problems there. This is about a NATO country, Turkey arming their buddies and training them to carry on a geopolitical goal of theirs. Russia doesn't want there to be bigger problems. Peace won't come unless USA and Europe tell Turkey that enough is enough. The only other option is Russia steps in and starts another war.
