Comment on What's the deal with the Armenia / Azerbijan conflict? Is there a right side to take?

Of course this is all a wild simplification but, Azerbaijan basically wants to take over all of Armenia and have a border with Turkiye. Armenia is “Pro-Russia” in that Russia is the only country offering to step in, and they desperately need the “peacekeeping” forces to keep Azerbaijan out. They kinda have to just go with it at this point if they want to continue to exist.

The current government of Armenia routinely criticizes Russia for not giving aid in 2020 and for allowing the current blockade, and Armenia is building closer military ties with Iran and India
