September 13-14 marked one of the most severe military escalations between Armenia and Azerbaijan since the end of the Second Karabakh War.

This has created a conundrum in the peace treaty negotiations as Baku expects Yerevan to recognize Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan and the Karabakh Armenians to become citizens of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

The foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia had a meeting in New York: one-on-one and with the US Secretary of State. From the official statements we understand that this was not the meeting announced in Brussels, as it was supposed to be focused on working out the text of the peace treaty. And Blinken said that there would be yet another meeting.

If you have any doubt the Armenian regime and its loyal contingent here heavily lobbies for political support, just try tweeting something supportive of Azerbaijan. You’ll be assailed by more trolls than ever appeared in The Lord of Rings.

The Kremlin will have a hard time preserving its nominal ally Armenia in Russia’s geopolitical orbit.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi this weekend led a congressional delegation to Armenia following last week’s deadly clashes along the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

While there is little reason to believe that Armenia will soon turn away from Moscow and toward Washington, Pelosi’s trip could be a starting point for another political shift in the Caucasus.

The lack of a peace agreement might expand the theater of future hostilities between the two countries and lead to new tragedies.

Armenian "high-level diplomacy" continues to hit rock bottom. Speaker of the Armenian National Assembly Alen Simonyan said at the joint press conference with the Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi that Yerevan was "grateful for the efforts of the United States in brokering a fragile ceasefire agreement on September 14".

Armenian media link the visit of Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, to the tensions on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. However, according to the organizers, Pelosi's trip to Armenia had been planned several months in advance.

In recent days renewed clashes have broken out between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the South Caucasus. Fighting between these two countries is nothing new.

Taking advantage of the sentiments of the thousands of protesting crowds triggered by Nikol Pashinyan saying he was ready to sign a "document of capitulation", opposition leaders in Armenia tried to organize a new wave of street protests demanding a change of government.

US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who visited Taiwan last month, causing great tension with China, is said to visit Armenia, which was involved in major deadly border clashes with its neighbour Azerbaijan.

Over the past few months, the situation in the South Caucasus region has begun to change rapidly. Great powers, countries of Asia and Europe, express their desire to strengthen and develop relations with Azerbaijan.
