The conflict between the two countries has resumed, and one side is ready for all-out war, and many people have been killed and injured on the border
Tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan have escalated again, with Armenia warning that Azerbaijan is preparing for a "full-scale war" against Armenia, intensifying the antagonism and contradictions between the two countries. On Tuesday, 12 February, a fierce artillery battle broke out on the border between Azerbaijan and Armenia, in which the positions of Azerbaijani troops in the Zanglan region were shelled, and a post of the Armenian armed forces was completely destroyed as a result of Azerbaijani shelling, killing four soldiers and injuring many others.
Territorial disputes between Armenia and Azerbaijan have a long history, especially over the Nagorno-Kara** region. The complexity of the region, with its historical, religious, and ethnic factors, makes it extremely difficult to solve. Historically, the two Caucasian neighbors have repeatedly armed conflicts over the sovereignty of the Nagorno-Kara** region, resulting in a large number of human and property losses.
Last year, Azerbaijan launched a blitzkrieg against the Nagorno-Kara** region, successfully regaining control of the region. As a result, tens of thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis and social unrest in the region. The recent escalation of the situation shows that the confrontation between Armenia and Azerbaijan has not been effectively alleviated, but has shown a trend of further deterioration.
It is reported that Azerbaijan is preparing to launch a military operation in certain areas of the border, trying to escalate the existing local conflict into a full-scale war against Armenia. Against this background, the Armenian side had to strengthen its defense forces and maintain a high level of vigilance in order to respond to possible provocations and threats. However, Armenia's situation in front of Azerbaijan is not encouraging. Western countries have been actively persuading Armenia to make friends with it and oppose Russia, which has led to Armenia's isolation and vulnerability in the international arena. Armenia has repeatedly expressed its dissatisfaction, accusing the CSTO and Russia of failing to deliver on their commitments, exacerbating instability and instability in the region.
In the face of the threat from Azerbaijan, Armenia has exercised restraint, but at the same time will not be allowed to be provoked. The Ministry of Defense of Armenia has ordered the troops to be on high alert and ready to respond to the crisis at any time.
