So basically a Muslim state & a-mostly Christian Orthodox one throwing rounds at each other while being in some sort of under or junior-alliance to Turkey??

Where could that go bad?

The timing of the Azerbaijani military move, and the corresponding Russian response, is impeccable . . . imagine THAT!

Fresh clashes erupt between Azerbaijan, Armenia
By: Reuters
Published: Sep 12, 2022, 18:52 CDT • 1min read

(Reuters) – Clashes erupted between Azerbaijani and Armenian troops, Russian news agencies reported early on Tuesday, in a resumption of decades-old hostilities linked to the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Azerbaijan, which re-established full control over the territory in a six-week conflict in 2020, acknowledged casualties among its forces. Armenia made no mention of losses, but said clashes persisted overnight.

Each side blamed the other for the outbreak in fighting.

“Several positions, shelters and reinforced points of the Azerbaijan armed forces … came under intense shelling from weapons of various calibres, including mortars, by units of the Armenian army,” the agencies quoted a statement by Azerbaijan’s Defence Ministry as saying.

“As a result, there are losses in personnel and damage to military infrastructure.”

Azerbaijani statements said Armenian forces had been engaged in intelligence activity on its border, moved weapons into the area and on Monday night had conducted mining operations.

It said its actions were “strictly local in nature aimed at military targets.”

Armenia’s Defence Ministry said: “Intensive shooting is continuing – started as a result of a large-scale provocation by the Azerbaijani side. Armenia’s armed forces have launched a proportionate response.”

Conflict first broke out in the late 1980s when both sides were under Soviet rule and Armenian forces captured swathes of territory near Nagorno-Karabkah – long recognised internationally as Azerbaijan’s territory, but with a large Armenian population.

Azerbaijan regained those territories in the 2020 fighting, which ended with a Russian-brokered truce and thousands of residents returning to homes from which they had fled.

The leaders of both countries have since met several times to hammer out a treaty intended to establish a lasting peace.

If there is a military conflict in Azerbaijan, it could easily impact the pipelines from the Caspian Sea to the EU, which all go thru either Azerbaijan or Russia.

From the tweet:

@Aldanimarki
These are the people bombing Armenia right now, in case you had any doubt just how awful of a fascist genocidal state Azerbaijan is.
A month-old video shows Azeri troops tying the skull of an Armenian person to the back of their truck.

will be interesting to see if we fan the flames ever higher here, as well, since that seems to be our New Foreign Policy across all the hot spots.

The Armenian Government is Claiming that Azerbaijan Forces in addition to Military Infrastructure are now beginning to target Civilian Infrastructure, like Power Plants in the Border Regions, possibly in an attempt to weaken Armenian Control in preparation for a Ground Operation.

~Some of the biggest sponsors of Azerbaijan, Turkey and Israel really haven't said much about what's going on.

~Turkey must be to concerned about Greece and Israel trying to harpoon the JCPOA.
