Reply to comment by Gorperly in Armenians turn fire toward Russia as Nagorno-Karabakh blockade enters third week by machinesaredumb

Azerbaijan is heavily supported by Turkey though. Russia doesn’t want that fight, especially while they’re losing in Ukraine.

But not by the West. Azerbaijan is fighting for their right to exterminate Armenians, and that's a fight the West won't pick. If anything, and under normal conditions, we'd be secretly helping Russia if somehow Russia couldn't manage to get it done by itself (which, before the Ukrainian war, never happened).

They don’t need the west though they just need Turkey. With Russias military already wrapped up, that’s all they really need, Russia really can’t afford to to fight Turkey.

If anything were to happen, the west would let it go until Russia were beaten and then send a peace keeping force to occupy Armenia to make sure Turkey and Azerbaijan don’t mess it up anymore than it would already be. Thus giving Armenia a sense of security, and also in the end the Nagorno-Karabakh area probably gets given to Azerbaijan in exchange for more security guarantees.
