The news of the ceasefire in the Caucasus is good news: Azerbaijanis and Turks may feel victorious, and Armenians may have escaped a terrible defeat. But the decision on the future of the Nagorno-Karabakh region will be made only in Moscow, writes the German newspaper “Süddeutsche Zeitung”.
Aliyev declared the victory of Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh war
The victory was “brilliant”
If we were talking about sports, it would mean that Russia took the gold medal, Azerbaijan the silver, Turkey, the bronze and Armenia withdrew from the competition. However, we are not talking about sports, we are not talking about medals. We are talking about war. A war in which thousands of people, including civilians, died in a matter of weeks, writes journalist Thomas Avenarius.
Russia has deployed 400 blue helmets in Nagorno-Karabakh
This is part of the peace agreement.
It is Russian President Vladimir Putin who is taking advantage of the bloody events in the South Caucasus, “said the author of the article.” He calmly waited to see how things were going to turn out. When the outcome becomes predictable, the Kremlin ruler forced Azerbaijanis and Armenians to agree to a truce at a time when Armenian troops were facing apparent defeat.

Turkey must also rethink its principled aggressive behavior: action will be taken and “options are on the table.”
For Yerevan’s leaders, a ceasefire is tantamount to surrender: for Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh is likely to be practically lost. … Now they are paying the price for their arrogant policy, in which they see the Nagorno-Karabakh problem solved in their favor, sums up the Süddeutsche Zeitung article.
Russia and Turkey fought for control of the Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire
Turkey is tasked with tasks that Russia says is not assigned to it.
“With his final decisive word, Putin stole victory from Azerbaijanis and Turksthat support them. (…) However, Presidents Aliyev and Erdogan can be satisfied. Azerbaijan has regained most of its state territory. (…) Erdogan can rest on his laurels. Through a new and successful foreign policy adventure, Erdogan proved in a matter of weeks that Turkey is a powerful regional military power not only in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. Ankara already has influence in the Caucasus. However, Erdogan will have to accept a fact: he cannot compete with a man in the Kremlin, concludes the Süddeutsche Zeitung.
The main points of the Nagorno-Karabakh peace agreement
The agreement was signed by Putin, Ilham Aliyev and Nikol Pashinyan
Judging from the current state of affairs, Putin will largely make a one-man decision about the future of Nagorno-Karabakh. Immediately after the signing of the armistice, he sent Russian troops to the troubled Caucasus region; they will have to separate the conflicting parties. With this lightning action, Putin made it clear who will have the last word in the Caucasus: This is the Kremlin, concludes the Süddeutsche Zeitung.
