I think it’s more nuanced than that. someone else can chime in but my insight is that this region is absolutely critical for oil pipelines and Azerbaijan has a ton of oil which BP is deeply involved with.
Lol just a guess but that is a funny find, like you said there’s usually a TINY bit of nuance there anyways tho. Edit: funnily enough I actually just guessed they were allies bc the Armenians were depicted as Chads in some shitty Russian movie I saw called “The Guardians” (an Avengers ripoff like 5 years after the original)
From what I’m learning, it seems as though Russia has been the primary mediator/peacekeeper in between the two. It would seem the simple answer is that one side is taking the opportunity to strike a militarily weaker rival while no-one is there to intervene.
Russia is formally an ally to Armenia, but has decent relationships with both I believe. Russia brought the 2020 stint to negotiations, they are both within Russia’s regional influence.
I assume Russia is an ally of Armenia then?
