Ancillary Ambitions of Territorial Dominance Where Exertions of Russian Influences Are Actually Expansionist

Submitted by M Tovey (United States), Sep 13, 2022 at 14:02

The continuing simmering of border and territorial hostilties in Armenia and Azerbaijan appear as over-the-horizon antipathies that can be examined for regaining influence of the former Soviet umbrella that dominated the region and those ghosts are active still. It remains to be seen when this will become the spill over that connects Turkiye to the conflicts since PM Erdoğan makes no secret that he supports Azerbaijan over the Armenians for the historical issues between those hostile ambitions of their own.
The Russian is still seeking his moment of opportunity here as well.
