Today, hosts Eric Hacopian and Patrick Elliott break down the ongoing assault on Nagorno Karabakh (a Artsakh) by Azerbaijani forces, with the direct assistance of Turkey.
On September 19, almost 3 years to the day of the launch of the 2020 Karabakh war, Azerbaijan initiated a large-scale military attack along the contact line and into civilian areas of Artsakh.
Ignoring international calls for peace, Azerbaijan’s aim appears to be the destabilization and ethnic cleansing of the mainly Armenian populated enclave.
Eric and Patrick discuss the intensified bombardment of Stepanakert, Russia’s contradictory role, and the West’s mixed messages.
