NATO is behind Azerbaijan, Russia behind Armenia. The war through proxies? Of course Putin is villain again, where are new sanctions against him?
If something wrong going on, always blame Putin. Seriously, the local conflict can speedily erupt in WWIII, like one more as a 100 years ago in Sarajevo.
As always NATO supports Muslims, not Christian Armenians.
Heavy fighting has erupted between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region, with both civilians and combatants killed.
Accusing Azerbaijan of air and artillery attacks, Armenia reported downing helicopters and destroying tanks, and declared martial law.
Azerbaijan said it had begun a counter-offensive in response to shelling.
The region is internationally recognised as part of Azerbaijan but controlled by ethnic Armenians.
They broke away in the dying years of the Soviet Union. Both Armenia and Azerbaijan were part of the communist state, which sought to suppress ethnic and religious differences.
Amid the clashes, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said he was confident of regaining control over the breakaway region.
Martial law has also been declared in some regions of Azerbaijan.
