They either leave on their own accord or the Azerbaijanis will kick them out.

They dont belong here.

Karabag belongs to Azerbaijan.
"choking off the supply line"

We're asking them to check what goes in and out of Armenian/Russian-occupied Karabakh so no weapons are being smuggled in - something which they have been caught doing multiple times. Also this is Neil Hauer, guy caught on record calling Armenians useless morons or something along those lines so he's clearly not doing this out of some actual humanitarian concern.

On the Azerbaijani side, the Zangazur corridor was planned on 3 main pillars. The first is the air corridor. After Fuzuli Airport, the construction of the second airport in the region, Zengilan Airport, has now been completed. Warehouses and logistics centers will be located around the airports. As dear @Bogeyman shared above, both airports are connected by an international standard highway and this line will reach Nakhchivan from the Zangazur corridor, then to the Turkiye border. The third pillar is the completion of the railroad connections.

(And the Zangazur corridor is actually a part and a stage of the trans-Caspian vision in a broader context. Full transportation integration of Central Asia and the Anatolian peninsula.)

In fact, the revival of the railway line was perhaps one of the most important issues in the Russian-brokered negotiations after the Karabakh victory. And Russia itself brought the Russia-Armenia and Russia-Azerbaijan-Turkiye railroad directly to the negotiating table. Weeks after the agreement, the Russian newspaper Kommersant published a map of the transportation routes, including the railway, agreed between Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan in the capital Moscow. The map clearly showed a connection between Azerbaijan and Turkiye via Nakhchivan. The new project also includes a connection between Armenia and Russia. Thus, the railways, which were closed after the collapse of the USSR, will be revived after almost 30 years. The railway is a win-win opening that serves both Russian interests and Turkish-Azerbaijani interests, and was indeed one of the critical issues that brought the parties to the point of agreement. In fact, most of these issues are now beyond Armenia's reach and there is little it can do except drag its feet.

Zangezur was drawn like this exactly to prevent land border between Turkey and Azerbaijan so thats not gonna happen.
Moreover, Iran would prefer to enter into a neverending war with both Turkey and Azerbaijan rather than seeing it happen

Since if such deal came to pass, Iran would be completely surrouned by enemies on all sides just like with India

I believe that once Israel strikes Iran, Azerbaijan will make a move to liberate Zangezur.

Iran would be occupied in dealing with Israel and wouldn't be able to do anything on the Armenia front. The russians are at this point irrelevant.

armenia is in a downward spiral as a country. They are still in a shock and their military has not improved since 2020. Pictures the other day showed that their Mi-24 helicopters had not been refurbished since the 2020 war. Azerbaijan would make easy work of armenia in Zangezur as Azerbaijan are already in control of many strategic highlands in Zangezur.

Azerbaijan's military is improving rapidly. Their doctrine is being aligned with Turkiye's i.e. NATO standard. They buy and produce a lot of drones/missiles from Turkiye and Israel.

In the Soviet term yes but there is a weak Russia now.Ever since the Russia-Ukraine war started, I always say to myself that if Azerbaijan had taken back its lands while this war was going on, everything would have been different.We would support Ukraine more then we do now.Other western countries were reluctant to confront us in the diplomatic arena.Weak russia would not have made a move against us.We could put Armenia in the seat as we wanted and force it to do the land swap.Against a possible Iranian intervention, certain cooperation could be made with the Gulf countries and Israel.Against the West, we used to make propaganda that we challenge Iran and Russia.Of course, if we could do everything perfectly :) .

You can be sure to experience backlash from the west once Azerbaijan attacks Armenian mainland, there is a reason why Azerbaijan didnt do such a move.

Mind you Armenians still believe they are entitled to land that belongs to them.

Hence why they pissed off Turkiye, Azerbaijan and Georgia. Whats funny that Greater Armenia even includes land from Iran but they are not including it due to Armenia being close to Iran.

Armenians not only pissed off their close neighbours they have now isolated themselves while being dependant on Russia and being allied with Iran.

France always supports Armenia but cant even bail them out 🤣

Dont forget how the Azerbaijanis were taking Shusha and the French were in panic mode.

Azeri security forces conducted a special operation inside Karabakh this morning. The operation targeted a smuggling route, which was being used to smuggle weapons and ammunition to Karabakh from Armenia.

3 terrorists were killed and 1 injured in the operation according to both sides.


Terrorists are saying a police vehicle was attacked.


As you can see, the dirt route attacked bypasses the blocking point on the Lachin route i.e. allowing terrorists to continue weapon and personnel smuggling albeit in a constrained capability.
