Quote:Unlike past fighting, the latest escalation marks an unusual attempt by Azerbaijani forces to dislodge and seize Armenian territory. Unlike the Karabakh conflict, such a direct attack against Armenia represents a new and expanded level of inter-state warfare.
Moreover, Armenian military positions in that border area are based on a static defensive posture reinforced by a combination of fortified terrain and topography, thereby only enhancing the inherent strategic advantage of such a well-entrenched defensive force to resist any assault.
It is precisely this illogical move, seemingly doomed from the start, that suggests a quite different context for this new cycle of violence.
