Nagorno-Karabakh as a model for resolving ethnic conflicts in the post-Soviet space

Russia introduced peacekeeping forces to Nagorno-Karabakh

It did it with the consent of Turkey, Azerbaijan and Armenia. Thus, it put an end to the bloody war on its borders. Neither the United States nor Europe dared to intervene in this decision. The position of Russia in the Transcaucasus has sharply strengthened. Pashinyan will have to resign, since he fell for the promises of the Americans to help in the conflict and was thrown by them. Just as Mishiko Saakashvili was thrown in 2008. Then Georgians lost South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Now Armenia has lost a significant part of the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh, annexed by force thirty years ago.

It can be assumed that ethnic conflicts in other conflict points will also be resolved according to a similar scenario: in Central Asia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, and the Baltic states. With a corresponding change in the ruling elites, and territorial changes.

Attempts by the United States to intervene in these conflicts will be suppressed by Russia, the European Union will not dare to intervene in them.

The new division of the world, which the “brown” elites around the entire perimeter of Russia dreamed of so much, has taken place and it did not happen at all as they had hoped. The USA left the post-Soviet space for the next fifty years. The border has yet to be drawn across Eastern Europe, but this process will be completed after Germany finally frees itself from the occupying forces of the overseas “partner”. I think this will happen in the next year or two.

The leadership of many post-Soviet countries should seriously reflect on the possibilities of repeating the Karabakh scenario if they continue to pursue an aggressive policy, even at the level of rhetoric, against Russia. And billing for the Soviet occupation can be assessed as real, not rhetorical aggression.
