Misterious the reason of the Azerbaijan attack.Did they want to see the preparation of their troops? Azerbaijan did never want to leave the question of Nagorno Karabakh.Again,the possibility to lower the crisis is lead to the diplomatic and military activity of the Russian Federation.Instead,they should evaluate a treaty of peace with Armenia,and renounce to their lost territory.Let’s suppose they win.Do they foresee the expulsion toward Armenia of a significant amount of, according to them,their citizens? Or they should prefer to maintain them in a permanent state of occupation? The treaty of peace,the recognition of the changes,is the only issue also for other crisis from the former Soviet Union,Donbass and Transdnerst,but I should add also Ceceny.All questions that is not suggestable to maintain hots for the next hundreds years.
