This book explores the thirty-year border conflict between Armenia
and Azerbaijan, specifically around the former autonomous republic
of Nagorno Karabakh, and shows how Russia is the only winner in
this conflict: fighting on both sides, supplying arms to both
sides, and acting as the arbiter between the two sides. The author
looks at Armenia, Azerbaijan and the separatists from military,
political, economic and diplomatic perspectives, and offers
insights on how the fighting has influenced society, and vice
versa. The book provides an update to the history of the war to
include major fighting in 2020, and examines how Russia obtained
three military bases and most economic assets in Armenia, while
becoming Azerbaijan's major weapons supplier to the tune of six
billion dollars. It shows how Russia has tried to sideline the
internationally-supported Minsk negotiations in favor of Russia
assuming the sole role of arbiter, and argues that even though
Russia has submitted a number of ceasefire proposals, it does
little to encourage the sides to implement them. The book includes
a discussion of international law, United Nations Resolutions, and
rulings by the European Court of Human Rights.
This book examines the origins and execution of Russian military
and political activities in Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine, and
Azerbaijan. Using a realist perspective, the author concludes that
there are substantial similarities in the four case studies:
Russian support for minority separatist movements, conflict,
Russian intervention as peacekeepers, Russian control over the
diplomatic process to prevent resolution of the conflict, and a
perpetuation of Russian presence in the area. The author places the
conflicts in the context of international law and nationalism
theory.
