It’s insane how proud the Russians are of their failure. Here they are, in a peacekeeping mission with 2 sides… and they’re praising the friendship between the 3 of them. No, not Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. But Russia, Azerbaijan and Turkey.
Sergei Istrakov, deputy chief of the general staff of Russia’s armed forces in Karabakh: "The successful work of the centre, based on mutual respect and the primacy of international humanitarian law, made it possible to complete the peacekeeping operation ahead of schedule."

Very interesting hypothesis by Dikran stepanyan for one of the possible reasons for the withdrawal of Russian peacekeepers.
You can find it on his Facebook page . He mentions the war in Gaza + Azerbaijani and Israeli military relationship.
It’s not uncommon for Israel to strike Iran through Azerbaijan, and as the activations off “Iranian proxies” near Israel start, Israel and in extension the us, would want to do the same near Iran.
As the relationship between the three local powers tr-ru-ir has become extremely delicate in the Caucasus. Russia does not feel as though he needs to be a part of any actions taken by Iran in Azerbaijan.
And the fact that the joint Russian Turkish base is shutting down, Is further proof. Since in many countries, there are joint Turkish Russian bases like Syria.. which shows that the struggle of power there is between both countries. But as both Turkey and Russia get out., Is maybe because the fear of Iranian participation, at the time when the three countries show solidarity in bilateral cooperation. Three countries at least artificially supports the Palestinians. Therefore, any strike against Israeli agent inside of Azerbaijan has to be supported by the other two.
Ceasefire my arse! That crap shouldn’t exist in a first place as it never worked
> No, not Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. But Russia, Azerbaijan and Turkey.
Not to mention, those Russian “peacekeepers” were to stay there for 5 years based on a tripartate agreement between Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. They are now leaving 1.5 years early, without even consulting Armenia, just based on a Russian-Azeri agreement which followed a complete ethnic cleansing which had genocidal overtones.
