Interesting. It would be really nice to see Azerbaijan outside of the NATO/Turkey/Isr*el orbit. Hopefully this bodes well for their relationship with Armenia, and gives a pathway to resolving the situation in Artsakh.

Sadly, Armenia looks to be falling into NATO orbit right now. So, I expect things are going to look bleak there going forward.
It'll be bang on the edge of the Atlantic, too, once sea levels sink Europe.
I mean didn't they expel all the armenians from there?
That's basically my understanding, yeah. I just don't think there'll ever be a possiblity for peace or people to return home if NATO is deeply involved.
Hell, hopefully Turkey can be pulled out of the NATO orbit, too. I hope the same for Armenia, Greece, and Cyprus, but I imagine the "white(ish), Christian" identity's aspirations of joining the west will take some painful lessons (like Georgia is facing now, like Russia has been facing since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, etc) to dispel.
“white(ish), Christian” identity’s aspirations
Judging by some of the publications from the Russian government, they aim to grab a share of that market as well
This is likely the natural result of Armenia aligning with the West and doing military exercises with the US, it makes sense for Azerbaijan to align closer with BRICS in response. Honestly, it probably works in favor of Iran and Russia since Azerbaijan holds a lot more strategic value as an ally then Armenia does.
I think so as well.
inshallah they get rejected, kosomohm
