Crossfire War: Azerbaijan/Armenia - Baku Accuses Yerevan of Violating Ceasefire
By Willard Payne
Night Watch: BAKU - The government of Azerbaijan has made another accusation against Armenia for subjecting Azerbaijan border units to machine gun fire.
This is why the Caucasus is more of a flashpoint than even the Balkans. Capitals in the area, along with Moscow, in an attempt to restore its sphere of influence, will use the conflict to their advantage. Tehran signed substantial defense agreements with Azerbaijan earlier this year, as this site reported, while Ankara operates in tandem with Tehran.
To counter this the Berlin-Moscow concern could increase their cooperation with Yerevan, if not already, and direct Washington’s attention in this area. The Allies may view Armenia as a position of resistance to the Islamic world’s effort to control the economy of the Caucasus region.
