The outcome of the recent conflict was decided by the big powers: the US and Russia, and this will continue to be the trend. Pashinyan firmly placed the responsibility for NK security on Putin.

One of the areas of concern is the peculiar activity of the Azerbaijani Foreign Intelligence Service, very likely involved in the anti-Menendez campaign and other occurrences.

The role and place of Wagner Group in Azeri Military Forces is the related issue and question.
