wow, I'm so surprised how brave the speaker was and this is the truth. Everyone filled in Armenia or outside but feels like everyone is a helpless over there.. no human rights no freedom of speech if freedom to vote. This is not in armenian character..
if it is a peace deal, why they're not talking about prisoners of war, five years suffering in Azerbaijan prison! Do not even allowed to have red Cross to come and talk to the prisoners ,nobody knows what terrible condition they are surviving.
Very elucidating interview. Thank you.
Armenia should remember 1 thing 20% Azerbaijans land was occupide.. they fought they won, Armenia gave back,, Zengezur.. now cant do much Azerbaijan.. much much strong stronger the German. Pinky Army,, for sure.. 100% This is an good . cosntruct.. aguments.
This video is one of the few analyses that recognizes that Azerbaijan's Ilham Aliyev must, and should, release the more than 23 Armenian hostages held in Baku and who have faced (and still face) a Kangaroo Court in Baku.
If it were a peace deal, another thing it would do is establish reciprocity for Armenian transit through Azerbaijan, Nakhchivan, etc.
Wonderful interview. Thank you for making this analysis available.
This region is the next hotspot after Ukraine. With the Russian CRE corridor effectively sanctioned for cargo in transit, two BRI transport corridors remain, the Trans-Caspian and the maritime one. The Trans-Caspian Route follows the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars rail and then it's flowing into Turkey. It is extremely important to stress that both the Trans-Caspian Route and the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars routes have grown exponentially in traffic and flow of commodities since the sanctions for cargo in transit to Russia. The US is undoubtedly seeking to disrupt the exports of the Chinese to the EU and monopolize it once more as a part of their isolation plan. It is very interesting to see how the game in this region will play out. The Georgian is pro-Russian, the Azeri is Turanist and treads on thin surface – especially with his two visits to the governor of Tatarstan in 2024, the Armenian is desperate for support. The dynamics are also complex. A potential Zanghezur corridor wouldn't solve, but amplify the problem, Russian style sanctions to Turkey via a, say, artificial crisis, wouldn't impact it as much since good could still flow from Georgia to Romania, Bulgaria etc. I suppose we'll have to wait and see. Thank you for the broadcast, another great one.
