Armenia alone will not pay for all this, all “neutrals” should not come out of this story dry

The ceasefire agreements mediated by Moscow on October 10 and Paris on October 18 were not observed. Ankara and Baku continue the war. The United States remains one of the co-chairs of the Minsk Group, which, however, despite a few statements by the Secretary of State, keeps itself significantly away. Instead, a closed discussion on Karabakh is scheduled for today in the UN Security Council.
In fact, Baku and Ankara are trying to destroy the Minsk Group co-chairing format and the settlement options proposed by it. In this respect, everything is decided on the battlefield, which will form a new situation.
The international recognition of Artsakh is a way to resolve the situation. In this respect, the so-called international community bears direct responsibility for the war and its consequences.
The West hopes to “remove” Turkey from itself in order to turn its attention to the South Caucasus, from there to the north and east. Russia and Iran hope to reach an agreement with Ankara to turn it against the West. China is silent, hoping that the wave is far from itself and in particular from the Uyghur mine.
Turkey has seized this chance and is playing an undefeated game for now, and Erdogan, with his rural simplicity, clearly formulates his assessments, threats and goals.
Armenia and the Armenian army stand at this difficult junction. The assessments that the Armenian army stands not only on the border of its own country, but also of the defense of civilization are true. At the same time, this circumstance cannot be one-sided, manifesting “civilized neutrality” from afar.
Armenia should not pay for all this alone, and all “neutrals”, including Georgia, should not come out of this story dry. To the west, first the Mediterranean region and the south of Europe, to the north, the Volga region of Russia and Siberia, and from there the expansion of the Xinjiang Turks of China is not only our problem, and moreover, why it should be only our problem. If others have such a problem, then they should put aside their “neutrality” and declare their interest in recognizing Artsakh’s independence.
