Immediately after the first victory of Baku in the Karabakh War, one Azerbaijani diplomat told me: "You think, we are loved by the Russian? But it was a long time ago. Although there are little more than recent events. Now most forgot that the current round of exacerbation of Moscow-Bak's relations began at the moment when the Russian aircraft was knocking down the Azerbaijana plane over Chechnya and did not allow him to land in Russia. And not even there was a problem.
And that Putin decided not to apologize. He is used to dancing before him. And he did not notice the world. More precisely, he may noticed, but apologize - it means to recognize the equality of "Caucasian Tatars" (so the empire called Azerbaijanis) equal to himself. And this is impossible. It is impossible, because then it is necessary to recognize the equality of Ukrainians, Belarusians, Kazakhs, and then Bashkiriv, Tuvintsi and Chukchiv. But Putin Tsugzwang.
He cannot recognize someone equal to the Russian. This is not the way he cannot punish the Baku economically, because he is too dependent on Ankara. But this is not the most important thing. Our war is not only not so much the war for the territory as for recognition of us by others. And what Baku does now, how Pashinyan planting Armenian Ivanishvili is a much more difficult process.
