** 01-Oct-2020 World View: Armenia and Azerbaijan continue fighting over Nagorno-Karabakh

Both Azerbaijan and Armenia are rejecting calls for a ceasefire, and
the fighting is continuing with artillery shelling on both sides,
killing dozens and wounding hundreds. The war is focused on
Nagorno-Karabakh, an enclave within Azerbaijan's boundaries, but
populated by ethnic Armenians who govern the enclave, as I described
in my recent article.

Turkey has clearly stated that it is an ally of its Turkic brother
Azerbaijan, and will participate in the fighting against Armenia if
called on. Armenia and Turkey have had extremely hostile relations
since 1915, when 1.5 million Armenians were killed in Turkey.
Russia is an ally of Armenia and has a military base in Armenia, but
is remaining neutral for the time being and calling for a ceasefire.
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Turkey has
transported about 900 Syrian mercenaries to Azerbaijan to take part in
the fighting. The organization adds that Armenian-born fighters in
Syria have also been transported to Armenia to join the fight. There
have also been unconfirmed reports that Armenia has transferred
Kurdish mercenaries from Syria.
Turkey is a member of Nato, and other Nato countries are criticizing
Turkey for threatening to get involved in the Azerbaijan-Armenia war.
France has a large ethnic Armenian population, and France's president
Emmanuel Macron said:
Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev demanded that Armenia withdraw all
its troops. If "the Armenian government fulfils the demand, fighting
and bloodshed will end, and peace will be established in the region."
Wow! Peace! Who can resist?

Quote: "I have noted Turkey’s political statements, which I
think are reckless and dangerous.
France remains extremely concerned about the warlike comments that
Turkey made ... which essentially remove any inhibitions from
Azerbaijan in what would be a reconquest of Nagorno-Karabakh. That
we will not accept."
Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev demanded that Armenia withdraw all
its troops. If "the Armenian government fulfils the demand, fighting
and bloodshed will end, and peace will be established in the region."
