The Russian army also paid a painful price, and a blitzkrieg suddenly came to an end
Data chart
The conflict between Russia-Ukraine conflict is still endless, but a blitzkrieg war around Russia suddenly ended in a flash. One day, it only took one day.
According to Azerbaijan, within a day, the Azerbaijani army achieved all military goals and "restored national sovereignty.".
The outbreak of this blitzkrieg also seemed sudden.
Azerbaijan claimed that on September 19th, two Azerbaijanis were killed by landmines in the early hours of the morning in the Naka region, and four Azerbaijani soldiers who responded to the incident were subsequently killed.
A few hours later, Azerbaijan angrily declared to the world that it had launched a large-scale "counter-terrorism operation" against Naqa.
According to Azerbaijan's disclosure, the Albanian military "used highly precise weapons to destroy the front and deep positions, long-range firepower points, combat assets, and military facilities of the Armenian armed forces."
Azerbaijan's current military strength is no longer comparable to that of Armenia. The Armenian soldiers in Naka are on all sides, except for surrender, only death.
In the end, with the mediation of Russia, both sides reached a ceasefire, and Azerbaijan historically regained control of Naka.
But the cost is also quite painful.
According to media reports, at least hundreds of people have died in the conflict. A large number of Armenians are fleeing from Naka to the mainland of Armenia. Several Russian soldiers were also killed, including Colonel Kougan, Deputy Commander of the Russian forces stationed in Nakavi and Deputy Commander of the Submarine Unit of the Russian Northern Fleet.
For this, Azerbaijani President Aliyev personally called Putin to apologize.
But the war has basically ended, at least in the Naka region.

As a famous powder keg in the Caucasus region, Naka is actually not large, with a population of over 100000 and an area of 4400 square kilometers.
They are mostly Armenians who believe in Christianity. But at that time, the division of the Soviet Union was very interesting. Naka was mainly Armenian, but it belonged to Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan, on the other hand, predominantly adheres to Islam.
After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, a fierce first war broke out between Armenia and Azerbaijan to compete for Naka, resulting in 30000 deaths and 1 million people being forced to leave their homes.
At that time, Armenia had the upper hand, not only taking Naka, but also occupying a large area of Azerbaijani land. But this also laid the groundwork for the second Naqa War in 2020.
This time, the Azerbaijani army completely took the initiative, especially when the Azerbaijani army used Türkiye's drones to hit the Armenian tanks one by one. This kind of nearly devastating dimension reduction attack was particularly impressive.
The war caused over 6000 deaths, forcing the Armenian army to fully retreat, and causing Naqa to be surrounded by the Albanian army. Finally, with the intervention of Russia, both sides achieved a ceasefire. The Russian military has deployed approximately 2000 peacekeeping troops near the ceasefire line.
Now, after a blitzkrieg, Azerbaijan has completely taken control of the Naqa region.
For the recent conflict, I have looked at the statements of some countries, which are very interesting.
France: Call for an immediate emergency meeting of the Security Council, accusing Azerbaijan of its actions being "illegal, unreasonable, and unacceptable.".
Türkiye: It fully supports the actions of Azerbaijan. Armenia must fulfill its obligations. Naka belongs to Azerbaijan.
The United States: Azerbaijan must immediately cease its military operations in Naka and ease the situation. The United States fully supports Armenia's sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity.
Russia: expresses concern about the tense situation and the outbreak of fighting, and urges both sides to immediately stop using force and return to diplomatic dialogue.
In addition, Russia also claims that it was unaware of Azerbaijan's military actions in advance, and the Albanian military only urgently notified the Russian side a few minutes before the operation.

Outside the Russian embassy in the Armenian capital, a large number of angry Armenians shouted slogans against Putin and Russia.
Do you understand the mystery behind this?
Firstly, Armenia swallowed painful tears.
On the battlefield, Armenia cannot defeat Azerbaijan at all; The big brother Russia, which was once seen as a support, is now gradually fading away.
You should know that Armenia and Russia are both members of the Collective Security Organization. According to the Collective Defense Agreement, attacking Armenia is attacking Russia, and the Russian military must be deployed.
But in recent years, the relationship between Russia and Armenia has become increasingly cold.
The most prominent example is Armenia's recent joint military exercises with the United States, and even rumors of joining the International Criminal Court. It should be noted that this court recently announced the arrest of Putin.
What do you want Russia to think?
Former Russian President Medvedev had previously warned Armenia, "Guess what fate awaits him?"
Secondly, the West takes advantage of this opportunity to dig corners in Russia.
It has to be said that in such a situation, Western countries also have to bear some responsibility.
On the surface, the West is now almost one-sided, standing on the side of Armenia.
There are cultural factors involved, as Azerbaijan is a Turkic country that believes in Islam; Armenia adheres to Christianity, and many Western countries have Armenians.

More importantly, in my opinion, it's better to take advantage of this opportunity to dig a corner in Russia. Armenia, you see, following Russia is not beneficial. It's better to come to our side.
So, it was also the military exercises between the United States and Armenia that brought Armenia closer to the West.
But the more it is like this, the more it is hated by Russia. After the crisis truly broke out, the West would never really send troops or guns, except for using their tongues. Armenia could only shoot down its front teeth and stomach.
Thirdly, the geopolitical landscape is still undergoing fission.
It must be noted that one important factor in Azerbaijan's rise is the wealth effect brought by oil, and Azerbaijan's overall strength is not as strong as before.
From this perspective, development is still a hard truth, and Armenia needs to reflect deeply.
Of course, behind Azerbaijan, there is the full support of Türkiye's Big Brother. Behind Armenia, the competition between the West and Russia has put Armenia in an awkward situation of neglecting both sides.
From the Russia-Ukraine conflict, from the Naka struggle, we can also hear the rattle of geopolitical fission.
Armenia, Azerbaijan, Türkiye, Russia, Islam, Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox Church, Armenian sects, all kinds of contradictions are intertwined, behind which there are thousands of years of national hatred, religious conflicts, territorial disputes. When is it really time to repay each other? The mishandling of ethnic and religious conflicts has been a curse for thousands of years.
The disintegration of the Soviet Union led to many previously concealed issues erupting violently in the form of war.
Specifically, in the Caucasus region, if Russia's energy is not constrained, can Azerbaijan and Armenia fight? The intervention of the West has further complicated the conflict and, in fact, worsened the situation in Armenia.
The good news is that a blitzkrieg has ended and a major battle cannot be fought for the time being.
The bad news is that so many people have died, planting new seeds of hatred.

The Azerbaijanis, who have achieved a great victory, are celebrating a historic victory; Those poor Armenians are crying in the wind.
Still very emotional
Fight and kill
Always the most unlucky for the common people
Sympathizing with Armenia
Encourage one yuan
Supporting Azerbaijan
Encourage duality
It's okay if you don't encourage me
For many people
This is a war without a winner
