To cut off the north-south corridor plan between Russia and Iran, the United States has proposed a dangerous plan aimed at establishing a false Syunik corridor: transferring the management rights of the route within Armenia to a U.S. private company, connecting Azerbaijan and the Nakhchivan region, and ultimately allowing Turkey to directly access the Caspian Sea and the entire eastern region of Azerbaijan. This would make the original plan for the railway between Iran and Russia fail, and block the construction of the railway!
No matter what, the United States has ideas and strategies; what if it succeeds? Both Armenia and Azerbaijan can be controlled by the United States. Israel still has methods; using Azerbaijan as a passage, it can strike Iran.
No wonder Azerbaijan suddenly de-Russianized, became more aggressive, and directly announced the suspension of Russian language teaching and the closure of all Russian schools. The relationship between Azerbaijan and Russia has taken a sharp downturn, becoming a reality. It was because there is support from the United States and Turkey behind the scenes. If Azerbaijan cuts off the north-south corridor between Iran and Russia, it will receive more support from the United States and Turkey.
As for whether it can be achieved in the end, it's hard to say, but the fact that Azerbaijan introduces external forces to balance the relationship and pressure between Iran and Russia has become a reality. The United States, the world's largest troublemaker, has always been trying to bring the three countries of the Caucasus to oppose Russia. Turkey also wants to reintegrate the three countries of the Caucasus into its sphere of influence, as they were once part of the Ottoman Empire's sphere of influence, but were later taken over by Russia.
Turkey wants to restore its former glory. Now, Azerbaijan is relatively difficult and more radical. Taking advantage of the lull in the Ukraine-Russia war, it is trying to find ways to break free from Russian control and gain more development opportunities, which is Azerbaijan's idea. Moreover, it is not surprising that Azerbaijan has such an idea.
The Azerbaijani passenger plane was shot down by Russian air defense forces, and it has not received a single penny in compensation, which is the fundamental reason for Azerbaijan's complete shift. Because it is really impossible to be more closely related to Russia, so it has no choice but to de-Russianize.
