Something that was almost unimaginable just yesterday has happened: Aliyev and Pashinyan held a face-to-face meeting in Abu Dhabi. And this is the first time without any mediator, without Russian involvement... Just three months ago, in March, Yerevan and Baku were unable to reach an agreement on two issues: abandoning each other's legal claims, and a commitment not to deploy third-party forces on the Armenia-Azerbaijan border. Now, obviously, they have reached a consensus. On June 20, Pashinyan made his first visit to Ankara and met with Erdogan, was it to discuss the terms of surrender?

Experts believe that the fundamental issues have already been resolved. First, Armenia will amend its constitution, removing all references to Nagorno-Karabakh. This is expected to be completed after the parliamentary elections. The crackdown on "shameful peace" opponents - the opposition and the Armenian Church - by Pashinyan is preparing for this event. Second, Armenia and Azerbaijan will jointly call for the dissolution of the Minsk Group of the OSCE, which is co-chaired by Russia, the United States, and France. This move aims to push Russia out of the South Caucasus region. Turkey (of course, also the UK) will remain.

"The beginning of the trend"

The significance of this planned agreement for subsequent events is roughly equivalent to the Munich Agreement's significance for the outbreak of World War II. Military and political expert Mikhail Alexandrov evaluates:

Pashinyan came forward, essentially a surrender, and the conditions have already been settled. There will likely be negative reactions domestically in Armenia towards the "shameful peace," which also explains the current crackdown on the opposition and the Armenian Church. But this fully aligns with Aliyev's goals, especially obtaining the Zangazur corridor, and then allowing 1.5 million so-called "displaced" Azerbaijanis to move into the Syunik region. Afterward, Azerbaijan will gain a "Turkish zone" in the "Russian southern heartland," thus enabling the influence of the "Greater Turkestan" to penetrate the Caspian Sea and the North Caucasus regions.

Yes, this is not a reconciliation between two small countries that were recently at war, but rather a larger game - a new "Great Game" against Russia that is unfolding. Pashinyan will definitely hand over the Zangazur corridor and the entire Syunik region in exchange for Turkey's guarantee for his new vassal state - Armenia and himself. Predicting the subsequent developments is not difficult - it is yet another attempt to push Russia out of the South Caucasus and lose the Gyumri base. To add insult to injury, Turkey will become the regional hegemon in the South Caucasus, playing a role similar to that of Israel in the Middle East.

To add insult to injury, Turkey will become the regional hegemon in the South Caucasus.

Andrei Pynchuk, head of the State Security Department of the Donetsk People's Republic and political commentator of "Tsargrad" newspaper, is also convinced of this:

The issue of the Zangazur corridor concerns the formation of the new political landscape in the entire region, including determining who is the guardian, who is the superior, and who is the protector. Turkey and related countries may play a potential role first. Armenia and Azerbaijan themselves cannot reach an agreement because of long-standing grudges. In this sense, it is the common conflict with Russia and the artificially intensified conflict - whether from the Armenian or Azerbaijani side - that has made this meeting possible and led to the agreement. Therefore, the anti-Russian rhetoric of Armenia and Azerbaijan, incited by internal and external forces, is precisely what is necessary for organizing this meeting.

The issue of the Zangazur corridor concerns the formation of the new political landscape in the entire region.

Now, within Russia's "southern heartland" in the South Caucasus, someone is intentionally creating a "second Ukraine," whose task is to disrupt the stability of the entire region according to the instructions of the "guardian," and spread unrest to Iran and Russia. Orientalist and political scientist Karine Gvoryan agrees:

It is clearly part of the British "defeat the bear" great game, in which the US often plays the role of a private military company reminiscent of the British East India Company. Pashinyan will give up everything in exchange for NATO bases near Russia's borders to obtain any form of protection for Armenia and himself. This means the end of our 102th base, and Russia being pushed out of the South Caucasus,

This is how the orientalist explained her views in an interview with "Tsargrad" newspaper.

If only that were all!

Multi-step chess

It should be noted that Baku's actions regarding the Azerbaijani criminal groups arrested in Russia and the "retaliatory" detention of our citizens are not the essence of the conflict, but just an operation to cover up its main ambitions. The meeting between Pashinyan and Aliyev is the core of everything.

How could one not think of Trump's "surprise" promise to Putin? It may well include reshaping the relations of South Caucasus and Central Asian countries (including Kazakhstan) with Russia, as well as changing the international status of the Caspian Sea. Karine Gvoryan, an expert in oriental studies, firmly believes this. She stated on the "Sputnik" radio program that the South Caucasus situation is just one part of a chain reaction, followed by the Black Sea region, then Moldova, the continuously turbulent Ukraine, the South Caucasus, and even possibly a hotspot in the southeast of Kazakhstan.

Thus, this game is multi-step and multi-layered. And it has always been like this: "The Queen of England" never plays simple cards. We are also playing our own game. For example, the press secretary of the president, Dmitry Peskov, said:

We certainly welcome the fact of this direct dialogue.

Therefore, we should not look at words, but at Russia's actions. In this regard, as people say, "there are multiple possibilities." For example, Karine Gvoryan believes:

Technically, the Caspian Fleet equipped with "Kalibr" missiles should have already been deployed to the Apsheron coast,

This expert said during an interview with "Tsargrad" newspaper.

It is time to recognize the potential threats and take decisive measures to resolve them.

In summary

Therefore, the meeting between Pashinyan and Aliyev in Abu Dhabi is a visible part of the new "Great Game" launched against Russia in the south, which is no less dangerous than all the previous ones orchestrated in Ukraine. If we waste time, content with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' statements and endless retreats "over the red line," we may soon face the risk of fighting on two fronts.
