Azeri-Armenian clashes 'may escalate' - Hillary Clinton

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has voiced concern over border clashes between Armenia and Azerbaijan - hours after three Armenian soldiers died in the latest skirmishes.

Speaking in Armenia, she warned that the clashes "could escalate into a much broader conflict" in the Caucasus.

The two former Soviet republics fought a bloody war over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh in the 1990s.

WWI started over border disputes in almost this Exact area.

The more immediate cause for the war was tensions over territory in the Balkans. Austria-Hungary competed with Serbia and Russia for territory and influence in the region and they pulled the rest of the Great Powers into the conflict through their various alliances and treaties.

It's possible the infiltrators were from Iran, as Azerbijan has been suspected of allowing Israeli and Western planes in its airspace and Iran has provoked clashes there previously.

I've said before in several threads that these two going to war is the highest chance of WW3 that there is.

Turkey and Azerbaijan have a military pact to go to war if either are attacked.

Russia and Armenia have the same pact with each other.

NOT GOOD.

YA THINK???

Russia has military bases in Armenia.

Turkey wants to kick some Armenians asses.

Azerbaijan wants to kick some Armenians asses.

NATO is backing one side, Russia and China is backing the other.

All of this on Iran's border... where war could start at any moment, possibly even Israeli troops in Azerbaijan right now...

Georgia/Russia hating each other... (not to mention Russian planes will have to go through Georgian airspace to reach Armenia in case of war)


All of the countries involved if war breaks out :

Turkey
Russia
Armenia
Azerbaijan
Georgia

That is bare minimum.... then you add...
Iran
Israel
NATO
China
Lebanon
Syria


This whole thing could start WW3 for real....

Ever heard of Base 102? (the Russian military base in Armenia)

When Azerbaijan goes in with guns blazing, do you think the Russians are going to just sit and take it?

They'll have T-90s pouring over the Azeri border like ants.

In reality it'd be more like

Armenia and Russia go to war with Azerbaijan and Turkey.

While this is happening, Russia secures its southern border by preemptively deploying in Iran to prevent an Israeli attack (and a Middle East conflagration).

God knows what would happen from there.

There are 5,000 Russian soldiers officially reported to be stationed at the 102nd Military Base located in Gyumri. In early 2005, the 102nd Military Base had 74 tanks, 17 infantry fighting vehicles, 148 armored personnel carriers, 84 artillery pieces, 18 MiG-29 fighters and several batteries of S-300 anti-aircraft missiles.

Not over a clash, but if the two went to war both Turkey and Russia have a military presence in those countries which would be immediately involved in open warfare.

Turkey = NATO/U.S, Britain, France, Germany, Poland, etc.

Russia = Russia/Ukraine/Armenia/CIS/Baltic states

So by extension you could quite easily say that it could definitely be WW3 if both Armenia and Azerbaijan went to war.

As an Austrian you should know all too well how alliance systems in volatile regions can result in world war.
