    Default Russian Troops to Land in Karabakh Airport

    On March 12 Armenia's Serzh Sargsyan will leave for Moscow to meet with Vladimir Putin. Among the issues which, according to the press, will be discussed, there is one relating to the CSTO and the airport of Stepanakert.This is a very interesting combination and it appears that both issues will be discussed in the same context. It is possible that the airborne troops mentioned by General Shamanov will be deployed in Stepanakert airport.

    It seems that Russia is giving up on having good relations with both Armenia and Azerbaijan. I'm not sure how smart that is, or whether or not it will make the conflict going hot again more or less likely.

    Azerbaijan has Aliyev , not Saakashvili and good contracts with Russia. It`s not like Russians are not present in Karabakh ....

    You think they are not? It`s one and only reason why Armenians and Azeris don`t wage war as we speak , Russians don`t exactly have to put a flag to show they are there.

    Well, first the Russians refuse to sell (more) S-300 systems to Azerbaijan (they wanted an additional battalion), then the Azeri deputy prime minister basically says that the Russians took NK from Azerbaijan, and that the Army should prepare to fight them, not the Armenians, and now this, which will not amuse the Azeris.

    But as to why, I have no clue. Perhaps the Azeris are getting to aggressive towards Armenia for the Russians' liking, or getting too palsy with the West. But I really don't know.

    All I know is that my own country (Serbia) is starting, for some unfathomable reason, to take sides in this conflict, and I don't like it. Not in the slightest.

    It was somehow connected with the Gabala's radar rent disrupting. Azeris were first. You simply mix events and their order.

    Oh so it is a conspiracy theory now

    And no it is not the one and only reason why war has not resumed.

    The NK airport has been a hot topic with Azeris since day one.

    They promised to shoot anything that flies to or from there.

    I am guessing because of the way the deal with the radar station went, Russians are just doing a political move.

    Kind of like "see we are gonna use it, what you gonna do about that"?

    Not a surprise, really. How would you've reacted if someone decided to build a parking lot on your backyard?

    ... They promised to shoot anything that flies to or from there. ...
    Source?
