In this unpredictable world, the wheels of history never seem to stop turning. The pen of a military magician, a lover of the history of military warfare, once again transports us to the ancient and mysterious region of the Caucasus. Here, the contest between artillery fire and peace seems to be an eternal theme, and the latest shelling incident has added a heavy color to the land on the third day of the Lunar New Year.
The territorial dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia, two neighbors in the Caucasus, never seems to have stopped. The latest shelling has once again propelled the region to the center of the international scene. Azerbaijan urgently issued a statement accusing this of being a provocation by Armenia. And the next day, Azerbaijan "returned the favor" with several shells, resulting in the death of four people at an Armenian outpost. Such a "New Year's greeting method" has undoubtedly made this already tense region even worse.
What is suffocating is that in the autumn of '23, Azerbaijan launched a full-scale attack on the Nagorno-Karabakh region, but Armenia reacted with an unexpected "resolute non-resistance" and directly surrendered this strategic location to Azerbaijan. The loss of the Nagorno-Karabakh region is not only a reduction in the territory of Armenia, but also a major blow to the Armenian national self-esteem.
After the dispute in the Nagorno-Karabakh region appeared to have subsided, negotiations to normalize relations between the two countries should have been a matter of course, but the process of negotiations was extremely difficult. Azerbaijan's repeated mahjong attitude has made the outside world full of doubts about the real intentions of this negotiation. And Armenia dared to use cannonballs to "greet the New Year" during the New Year, which is even more unbelievable. It is not difficult to see that behind all this, there is a false flag operation orchestrated by Azerbaijan.
The story between Azerbaijan and Armenia is not just a territorial dispute between two countries. It encompasses a wider range of international relations, including complex ties with Turkey, Israel, and even Persia. In particular, the relationship between Turkey and Azerbaijan makes people think deeply about the motives behind this incident.
Behind this seemingly territorial struggle between small countries is actually the shadow of a great power game. Azerbaijan's actions are undoubtedly manipulated and promoted by greater international political forces. And Armenia seems to have fallen victim to this great power game. And how much of it is behind all this that we don't know?
In this complex and ever-changing world, every country is constantly working for its own interests. But in the midst of this seemingly endless struggle, where is the real peace? During this Spring Festival, the artillery fire between Azerbaijan and Armenia is not only a confrontation between the two countries, but also a challenge to world peace.
In the pen of the military magician, we see the complex and confusing stories of the Caucasus. However, behind these stories, we should think more about how to make the world a more peaceful place, and how to let those displaced by the war return to their homes as soon as possible. Let us look forward to that day and hope that there will be real peace in this world.
