Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russia sign deal to end Nagorno-Karabakh war

Why Armenia couldn’t exploit its diaspora more effectively is a mystery, but that’s the difference. The military defeat was the eventual, inevitable result of a long-running political failure.

Armenia is in shock, but what remains of the Armenian enclave in western Azerbaijan would quickly be overrun if the Russian troops were not there. As Arayik Harutyunyan, Nagorno-Karabakh’s separatist leader, admitted on Nov. 10, 'had the hostilities continued at the same pace, we would have lost all of (it) within days,' writes Gwynne Dyer.
