Azerbaijan, instigated by Turkey, failed in its blitzkrieg in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Yerevan analyst Boris Navasardyan expressed this opinion in a commentary to Nezavisimaya Gazeta, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

According to him, only “the stubborn resistance of the Armenians to the joint Azerbaijani-Turkish aggression allowed Moscow, without taking sides, to remain in the game and even claim certain dividends in the future.”
“In addition, having failed to achieve a blitzkrieg and being stuck in Karabakh, Ankara, which finds itself in a vulnerable position on the international stage, is forced to show greater accommodation on a number of contradictions with the West, primarily on issues related to oil and gas fields in the Eastern Mediterranean,” Navasardyan said.
