Russia's Hidden Role in Nagorno-Karabakh: Lavrov's Statement Reveals Frozen Conflict Strategy

Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict: Russia's Strategic Delay and Lavrov's Revealing Statement The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, a long-standing territorial dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia, has seen significant developments in recent years. A new video analysis suggests that Russia played a key role in prolonging the conflict, intentionally delaying a resolution to maintain its influence in the region. The video highlights a statement by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who reportedly said, "If the decision on the status had not been made by Armenia, our peacekeepers would have remained." This statement implies that Russia did not intend to unilaterally recognize Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan. The video argues that Russia's strategy was to "freeze" the conflict, not resolve it, allowing Moscow to remain a key mediator and exert influence over both sides. The video's analysis suggests that Russia's calculated delay in addressing the status of Nagorno-Karabakh allowed it to maintain a delicate balance of power in the region. This strategic approach, however, was disrupted by Armenia's acceptance of the resolution, which removed the need for Russian mediation and the presence of peacekeepers. The video offers a compelling perspective on the complex geopolitical dynamics of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, highlighting the significant role of Russia in shaping the region's trajectory. Further investigation into Russia's motives and the long-term implications of the conflict's resolution is warranted.
