Armenia signed capitulation and forced to leave Karabakh

32

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced the signing of a "painful" for Armenians document on Nagorno-Karabakh, jointly with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev.

I made an extremely difficult decision for myself and for all of us. I signed a statement to end the Karabakh war at 01:00 (00:00 Moscow time on November 10, 2020 - ed.). The text is unspeakably painful for me personally and for our people

He wrote.



Pashinyan noted that he made this decision "as a result of a deep analysis" of the situation. He believes that this is the best option in this situation.

According to the text of the signed document, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces remain in their positions. Armenian troops are leaving Nagorno-Karabakh, and Russia, in parallel with this process, is deploying its peacekeeping contingent along the line of contact. To do this, Moscow will send 1960 military, 90 armored vehicles and 380 - another equipment... The peacekeepers will stay there for 5 years, and if necessary, the lines of their stay will last for another five years. Moreover, the extension can be carried out an unlimited number of times, if none of the parties declares 6 months before the expiration of the period of intention to terminate the application of this provision.

The Armenian side must return Baku to Kelbajar region by November 15, Aghdam region by November 20, and Lachin region by December 1. At the same time, the Lachin corridor (5 km wide) remains for the Armenians to ensure the connection of Nagorno-Karabakh with Armenia (without affecting the city of Shushi, which is under the control of the Azerbaijani army). It will be guarded by Russian peacekeepers. In the next three years, the parties must agree on the organization of a new transport route with the subsequent redeployment of Russians.

Azerbaijan guarantees the safety of movement of citizens, vehicles and goods in both directions along the Lachin corridor. Refugees and internally displaced persons are returning to Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding areas under UN control. There is an exchange of prisoners of war, persons held and bodies of the dead. At the same time, Yerevan will provide transport links between Azerbaijan and the Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic, control over which is entrusted to Russian border guards.

At the same time, the President of Azerbaijan, signing the document, specified that the peacekeeping mission in the zone of the Karabakh conflict will be jointly Russian-Turkish. This is one of the approved points. Aliyev also congratulated the people of Azerbaijan on the historic event.

Note that it is really a holiday in Baku now, the Azerbaijanis really have something to celebrate. The Azerbaijani side has posted a map of Nagorno-Karabakh on the Web. It shows in blue the territories under the control of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, in red - those that will pass Baku in the near future, and in green - the rest of Nagorno-Karabakh, which will be controlled by peacekeepers.


On the evening of November 9 in Yerevan, angry Armenian "patriots" were looking for Pashinyan and beat up the Chairman of the Armenian Parliament Ararat Mirzoyan. They claim that their country signed a capitulation and lost Nagorno-Karabakh along with the "security belt" around it. But why these "patriots" were not among the volunteers at the front is unknown.

Based on the text of the document, it turns out that Yerevan will no longer be able to control the region and it, in some form, will become part of Azerbaijan.

    The Russian base in Armenia remains, the borders of Armenia are under Russian control. There is another Russian base in Azerbaijan. In the very center of the South Caucasus.
    In my opinion, a clear victory for Russian diplomacy.

      The overwhelming majority of Russians supported your people in this incomprehensible confusion, arranged at the dawn of Soviet power, but ... in the media it is somehow vaguely reported about who first started this bloodshed, whether the Armenians wanted to expand the security belt around Karabakh, or vice versa, Azerbaijan wanted to reduce it, and reach its borders ..... For three years, Armenia, with small steps, unambiguously, went to its defeat because of the coup that Pashinyan staged in his country, and everyone would have remained in their interests, according to the 1994 peace treaty, so I want to know in more detail who "twitched" first, and for what.

        The Armenians were the first to twitch at the dawn of the 20th century. Constituent documents of Dashnaktsutyun. Armenia will be built on blood. And ethnic wars began in the Caucasus. 1905, 1918-1920, 1988, 1992-94 war
        The main goal was the creation of "Great Armenia" in the Azerbaijani lands. One should read the same Kocharyan, Sargsyan and others. "We were not interested in the opinion of Azerbaijanis in Karabakh and we did not take them into account." Taking advantage of the confusion in Azerbaijan and the fall of power, Armenia was able in 1994 to take control of Karabakh and 7 regions around it. But no country in the world will agree to the loss of 20% of its territory and the presence of 700 refugees from these 000 regions. Having participated in the forums for a long time, I did not often see the support of Azerbaijan from Russia. On the contrary, I see bias or, at best, ignorance of the situation. All 7 years Azerbaijan was preparing for war, but did not rule out a peaceful solution.
        The formula was quite tolerable for Armenia. "Peace in exchange for territory". 5 districts (not even 7) in exchange for the status of Nagorno-Karabakh as a full autonomy within Azerbaijan. In response, Armenia built fortified areas in the occupied regions. So I was not going to return anything.
        There are no "Erdogan's ears" or "plans of the Masons" or "Soros's disciples" here. There is a stupid Pashinyan here, who angered Aliyev by categorically declaring that "Karabakh is Armenia, period." After that, war became inevitable. On September 27, it was probably Azerbaijan that started. And in Azerbaijan this war was viewed precisely as a war of liberation.
        Plus, taking advantage of the situation, I. Aliyev enlisted the support of Russia. This is not found anywhere. But this is my firm conviction. This abscess had to be eliminated. And he was eliminated. The interests of Russia and Azerbaijan just coincided at this stage. Azerbaijan returned its lands, and Russia established itself in the South Caucasus. Not one isolated base, but two.
        None of the tests here came true. There are no Turkish bases in Azerbaijan, no Western influence. There is no Minsk group. The Russian Foreign Ministry said that "neither France nor the United States participated in the elaboration of the agreement."
        The further depends only on Armenia. Borders are unblocked not only with Azerbaijan. With Turkey too. Armenia has every chance to get out of the economic blockade and build its own state. I'm only afraid they won't take this chance.

          Then there remains one more "misunderstanding" - this green torn piece inside Karabakh, which will be controlled by blue helmets - this is no man's territory, because the peacekeepers are not there forever, or will there still be an Armenian enclave with a predominantly Armenian population ?.
          And I want to ask you about one more thing - you perfectly see what is happening in Ukraine, and who muddied it all there, what happened to Transnistria and Moldova, what happened to Armenia and Azerbaijan, what else will happen to Belarus and Kazakhstan, and not better whether it would be for us to unite again, and live the way we lived before under the USSR, taking the best from it, and live in the new realities peacefully and amicably, as a single family, and not grovel in front of some sort of USA and Europe.

            I don’t know how it will be in real life. I know that propaganda has been going on in Armenia for over a hundred years. They hate Turkey and Azerbaijan at the subcortex level. There was no such hatred in Azerbaijan until 1988. We have always lived peacefully. But no one can delete the last 30 years at once. Armenians and Azerbaijanis must return to their homes in Karabakh. And live under the control of peacekeepers. There shouldn't be any provocations. But doing this is no less difficult than winning the war. I have already given examples. England and France, Israel and Germany. The Americans dropped atomic bombs on Japanese cities. We must step over the previous grievances. It is difficult and how it will be - I cannot say.
            Concerning the USSR. You can unite only around a strong country. In this particular case, around Russia. But for this Russia (it is she) must offer some kind of perspective. A unifying idea. But so far Russia is offering only liberal capitalism. There will be no unification. If Russia is building capitalism, then in the States it was built long ago. And Europe (West) in this respect is ahead of Russia by 100-200 years. Therefore, the former Soviet republics gravitate towards the West. They are simply far ahead of Russia in building capitalism. And Russia itself is not going to build socialism yet.

                There are nuances in any given example. China is tied to the States. Isn't there an economic war between them now? And who will win it is not at all obvious. The Marshall Plan assumes complete submission to the same States. Does Europe have political sovereignty?
                I would cite Stalin as an example of the USSR. The country developed and was completely independent from the West. She had complete sovereignty and economic power.
                But is the modern Russian Federation going to repeat this example? Even you here cite as an example the construction of the Western model of capitalism.

      From the very beginning of hostilities, the Azerbaijani army and command demonstrated an operational-tactical, organizational and technical advantage over their adversary.
      I would say - "pure victory" in the Azerbaijani-Armenian war for Nagorno-Karabakh and the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, but villainously shot down (most likely, this is a Turkoman provocation, in addition to the United States and the World Bank, it is especially beneficial to Turkey and Armenia, aimed at embroiling Russia with Azerbaijan, peace negotiations and prolong the bloodshed in the Caucasus ?! what ) near the borders of Nakhichevan, a Russian helicopter and killed Russian pilots are holding me back from such a confession! request
      Whether Russia has won, in general and in the long term, from this Caucasian massacre, it is still written with a pitchfork on the water! It seems to me that no ?! winked

        The helicopter is a tragic accident. For some reason, no one looks at the map and does not google the Internet. It's on the surface. The commanders in the field have no idea of ​​the leadership's plans. They are not supposed to do this.
        Do you really think that the helicopter was shot down at 17:30 (Moscow time) and at 18:30 (local time). And immediately after a couple of hours you signed an agreement? My chronology looks a little different.
        On November 3-4, special forces and mountainous parts of Azerbaijan entered Shusha. They held the fortress for two days until, on November 6, motorized rifle units approached the city. After that, the fate of the city was decided. On November 5, the head of the NKR Arayik Harutyunyan asked Pashinyan to sign an armistice, because the army's forces were running out. On November 7, Shusha was finally taken. On November 9, battles took place on the outskirts of Stepanakert (or even in the suburbs). The Armenians urgently transferred the last reserves from Martuni (Khojavend). But the entire column of armored vehicles was destroyed on November 8 or 9 during redeployment. There is already nothing to defend Stepanakert with.
        Preparations for signing the agreement began on November 7. It was then that the first reports appeared about the activity of Russian aviation in Ulyanovsk and about the columns of equipment of the Russian troops there.
        Let's go back to the helicopter. He reportedly accompanied a Russian convoy from base 102 (Gyumri). But the column was a hundred kilometers from Gyumri in the south. Just on the highway Yerevan-Goris-Lachin-Shusha. This Russian convoy was ALREADY heading towards Karabakh. The air defense crew mistook the convoy for an Armenian one and shot down a helicopter. It is an accident. It's a pity the guys that died. But the agreement was signed not because of the helicopter, but because of the capture of Shushi and the lost war. Pashinyan has already stated that on November 9, the army announced that the resources of resistance had run out.
        My opinion is that Russia won. Moreover, Putin played this game masterly. Nobody is a prophet. But at the moment Russia stands firmly in the South Caucasus with two feet (Armenia and Azerbaijan). There are no Turkish, American, or Martian bases here (except for Russian ones). There must be peace for five years. And five years in our fleeting world is an eternity.

          hi No, comrade Bakht, I know all about this, but I wrote about a provocation with a helicopter, precisely as an attempt to disrupt the peace agreement that was being prepared and pushing to escalate the war (through confrontation, due to an attack on a Russian military helicopter flying over the territory of Armenia, Azerbaijan already with Russia and the CSTO, in order to understand the intensity of passions in Runet, it is enough even to read yesterday's "thematic forum" on the Military Review, akin to the Reporter)!
          Since the "justifications" why the Azerbaijani "air defense crew", in the absence of a declared war between Azerbaijan and Armenia (and not the Nagorno-Karabakh "Artsakh"), "mistakenly shoots" an allegedly "Armenian helicopter" flying past over the adjacent, albeit Armenian, territory , frankly weak and obviously, after what happened, "far-fetched" ?!
          That is, some kind of "air defense crew", without hesitation, like this, personally and spontaneously, with their irresponsible actions, unleashes a war with Armenia at that time, in those hours and minutes, when the key Shusha was captured by the Azerbaijani army for several days, the enemy the war of Azerbaijan with the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic is running too - "Artsakh" is practically over (you are completely right that the peace negotiations were conducted for more than one hour and a day, not at once "the matter was sitting down", and Azerbaijanis, Azeri servicemen, were in aware of the real situation at the front, they were not misled by their own media and the command, as the Armenians deceived the Armenians, and the "air defense crew" also knew this and, nevertheless, supposedly "arbitrarily", without any demolition with the command, they would not have had time to request permission during the flight of the helicopter in their "observation and fire sector", dared to "risk the whole world" and shoot the "Armenian helicopter" ?? !!) ??!
          So, with the shot down (possibly by Turkish "advisers" or by Syrian pro-Turkish mercenaries, even contrary to the orders of the Baku command, precisely for provocative purposes ?!), guessing exactly "to the peace", a Russian helicopter it is clear that the matter is dark!

          Azerbaijan and Turkey behind it have definitely won now!
          Armenia has definitely lost!
          But whether Russia has won (at least even in the short term) something is a question of questions ??!
          Alas, not everything is so unambiguous as you, comrade Bakht, write here now complacently, for example, I have big doubts about such a "Russian win", maybe wrong!
          Something bad to me my "chuyka" tells me about this "Russian victory" and "two legs in the Caucasus", about Russian bases in Armenia and Azerbaijan (oh ???). But I'm not Vanga, not Messing, and I do not pretend to be a "cassandra". request

            They shot down MANPADS. That is one or two people. Yesterday the Prosecutor General's Office of Azerbaijan launched an investigation into this incident. Those present here have a bit of a misconception about the president of Azerbaijan. If someone wanted to set him up, then I definitely do not envy him. They will tear off the head and say that it was so.
            I still think the helicopter is an accident.
            I'm not a diviner about the future either. But I think it will be calmer. In any case, I welcome the presence of Russian peacekeepers. Whether they are welcomed in Armenia I cannot say. The near future will show. I didn’t believe that a clause on railway communication through Zangezur would be included in the agreement. I can hardly imagine how it will be. Although it is written that Russian border guards will guard the trains.

                It's useless to argue. If you are sure of something, then I cannot convince you. I am more than sure that the Azerbaijani military did it. An error and nothing more. But they will definitely be punished.
                I can tell a joke about Nakhichevan. It is sometimes said in Baku that

                Vasif Talibov does not give Nakhichevan to Azerbaijan. Moreover, it will not give it up to Turkey.

        I doubt it. I do not approve for the base in Gyumri. It is right on the border with Turkey. But it will not be easy to destroy the base in Karabakh. Have you seen the composition of the 15th Motorized Rifle Brigade? These are not Western peacekeepers. This is a complete combat unit. Is it so easy to destroy an entire Russian brigade?

        https://ru.oxu.az/war/439509

        There will be no provocations from Azerbaijan. I am sure about that. Logistics will be through the territory of Azerbaijan. Most likely, the base in Gyumri will be able to have full-fledged logistics through Azerbaijan.

      No, well, in the given circumstances - this is the normal alignment for Russia. Another thing is that this is not only and, perhaps, not so much the merit of the "excellent" Russian diplomacy, but Aliyev's unwillingness to completely and finally lie under Perdo, which would have happened if Azeria had gone to the complete capture of Karabakh, with forced evictions, etc. nishtyaks, which Turkey insisted on. Aliyev wisely left another big player behind the board to counterbalance Turkey

        Now you are worried about supplying the base in Karabakh. Much closer to Russia. That all of a sudden, supply issues have become so significant? And you were not at all sorry for the taxpayers' money to create a "fortified area" in Syria.

    The signed agreement is a compromise that does not fully suit either of the parties to the conflict, and therefore there will always be “patriots” - provocateurs who advocate the war to the bitter end, that is, until the enemy is completely destroyed.
    Armenia has signed not surrender, but the right to Existence!
    Otherwise, its defeat against the army of Azerbaijan, Turkey and Iran would be inevitable.
    I would have lost not only Karabakh, a whole generation of young people, but possibly also statehood.
    Karabakh was not recognized by any state, including Armenia and the Russian Federation.
    Armenia could play the role of the fuse at the bomb, like the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand.
    In the event of the continuation of the war and the invasion of the Azerbaijani army into the territory of Armenia, it was announced that the Russian Federation would enter the war on the side of Armenia under the CSTO agreement.
    This would mean a war of the Russian Federation not only with Azerbaijan, the states supporting it, but also with all the so-called. “Friends” and “partners” in the west, which could well develop into a big, if not a global war.
    US submarines are on alert in the Arctic Ocean, NATO has a huge mobilization and military potential in the European theater of operations.
    The flight time to Moscow launched from Germany or Poland to Moscow is 10-15 minutes, and in the event of a retaliatory strike, the flight time to the United States is about 30 minutes, i.e. have a head start of 20 minutes which gives them a huge advantage.
    Hopes for the S-500 and hypersonic carriers are not justified until they are in service in sufficient numbers to destroy the space group, the United States and Canada.

      Do you dare, galley? Iran would go to help Turkey in the war against the main territory of Armenia? )) Fantastic. In the same way, hopes for Russia's entry into the war within the CSTO would be fantastic - no one will really fight for Armenia, at most, they will guard their base, as in Khveimim, and supply weapons. Well, all sorts of military specialists, ichtamnet and special forces from time to time, also like in Syria. And no world would try to harness Turkey in this regard, certainly not the Europeans and not the Sshanians - because this is Turkey's personal agenda, which threatens Europe as well and which they have no reason to support.

      Turkey has contracted for this business. As far as I remember, there is a "one-way traffic". Will build a parallel branch.
      Armenians burn down the houses in which they lived before leaving the regions of Azerbaijan. Basically, these are the houses of Azerbaijanis who were expelled from their native lands 30 years ago.
      But I want to believe that these lands will eventually be finally restored, and normal life will return there, as in Soviet times.
      Although the sappers work there - do not breathe.
