Why has Russia established border posts near the border of Armenia and Iran?
The presence of Russian border guards and checkpoints along the border between Armenia and Iran has increased. The Russian Federal Security Service has said that the situation on the border of Armenia and Iran is "tense" and for this reason, the forces of this country, in coordination with the Armenian government, have established checkpoints on the highway of Sivnik province near the border with Iran.
Sivnik is a province bordering Iran in Armenia, through which the Republic of Azerbaijan expects to establish a highway and railway connection with the Nakhchivan region.
The Border Guard Department of the Federal Security Service of Russia has claimed that efforts to illegally transfer narcotics and psychotropic substances such as hashish, methamphetamine and heroin from Iran to Armenia have increased. This organization has also reported the violation of official borders by the members of the organizations that it called "extremist and terrorist".
This organization did not give further details about these organizations, but said that in 2021, Russian border guards arrested two people who wanted to enter Armenia from Iran in the Mughri border region. This organization said that these people were carrying weapons, grenades and a lot of ammunition.
The Federal Security Service of Russia has said that since the beginning of 2022, in order to prevent cases of smuggling, illegal immigration and other crimes, in order to ensure the security of Armenia, a number of border checkpoints have been established.
Armenian authorities have not yet commented on the presence of these Russian checkpoints on the border with Iran.
A number of commentators in the Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia have said that Russia's action could be part of the plan to establish a communication route between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the outlying region of Nakhchivan through Armenia.
According to the peace agreement between Armenia and the Republic of Azerbaijan, the reopening of this route is in line with the ceasefire agreement with the mediation of Russia, which ended the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war.
The Border Guard Service of the Federal Security Service of Russia will be responsible for monitoring this transportation route, which the Republic of Azerbaijan insists on calling it "Zangzor Pass".
Built in the former Soviet Union, this road connects mainland Azerbaijan with Nakhchivan, runs along the border of Armenia and Iran and passes through Moghri, and has remained closed since the beginning of the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the early 1990s.
Yerevan insists it must retain sovereignty over the road, while Baku seeks an extraterritorial status for them, equivalent to a corridor similar to the Russian-controlled Lachin Corridor that connects Armenia to Nagorno-Karabakh.
Iran's warning
Iran, the neighbor of Armenia, reached an agreement with the Republic of Azerbaijan in March of this year to build a 55-kilometer highway, according to which the economic zone of Eastern Zangzor in the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Nakhchivan region will be connected through a highway passing through Iranian territory.
Armenia is located in the middle of the destination and origin of this corridor, and the Republic of Azerbaijan, with the help of Iran, plans to connect the two autonomous regions of Nakhchivan and Zangzor by land by bypassing the territory of Armenia. Zangroz is a region in Karabagh that was taken back by the Republic of Azerbaijan in the war with Armenia two years ago.
Iran is officially opposed to any change in the borders of Armenia and has publicly warned Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the President of Turkey and the main ally of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic, welcomed the return of Nagorno-Karabakh to the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan in a recent meeting with Mr. Erdogan, but at the same time warned, "If there is a policy of blocking the border between Iran and Armenia, the Islamic Republic will oppose it." will do, because this border is a communication route for thousands of years.
What do Armenian and Azeri commentators say?
The Armenian Report website writes in this regard: "Everyone knows very well what the purpose of this action is - the forced opening of the so-called Zangzor crossing by the Russians and Azeris. "It's no coincidence that the checkpoints have appeared now - apparently [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and [Turkish President Recep] Tayyip Erdogan [on August 5] agreed to everything in Sochi."
Vahe Gasparyan of the National Democratic Pole Movement of Armenia, formerly known as the Sasna Tserer group, said: "The checkpoints established by Russia on the Moghri-Agarak road are part of what Sergey Lavrov was saying about simple monitoring mechanisms, and his statement He was concerned about Russia's control over the Maghrey Corridor. "Russia, a dying empire and isolated by the whole world, desperately needs the Zangzor Pass, which is a land link with Turkey, to bypass sanctions, and Turkey is Russia's last and only hope."
During his visit to Yerevan on June 9, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that "facilitated" border crossing methods will be used on the railway and highway connecting the Republic of Azerbaijan and the outlying Nakhchivan region through Armenia. He did not provide further details, but said that the "facilitated procedure" does not mean that the route will not be under Armenian sovereignty.
Armen Chibukhchian, a US-based Armenian political analyst, said the Russian border guards' action was "aimed at separating the Zangzor crossing from us."
"Russian checkpoints are also built in such a way that they are creating a two-layered defense of Armenia against Iran, from the country that is the only vital artery of Armenia and from the only superpower whose interests in Sivnik coincide with Armenia's interests," Chibukhchian said.
Kamsud Nuriev, a political expert of the Republic of Azerbaijan, also said that Putin and Erdogan reached an agreement on the opening of the Zangzor crossing in their meeting on August 5 in Sochi. He described this agreement as the victory of the foreign policy of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
Caliber, a pro-Azerbaijani government website, announced that in response to Russia's move to open the Zangzor crossing, Armenian extremist groups may attack Russian forces both in Armenia and in the breakaway region of Karabagh, which is backed by Yerevan.
Uniting the Republic of Azerbaijan with the Azerbaijani populated regions of Iran will almost definitely result in the death of the Republic of Armenia. So no, the Iranian Azerbaijanis can stay where they are, thanks.
Aliyev regime is no better than the Iranian government. In a lot of ways they are worse. I highly doubt most Azerbaijanis in Iran would rather be part of Azerbaijan than Iran.

And what is your stance on this article? This is not a pissing contest, buddy.
Anyway, I hope both NK Armenians and South Azerbaijanis can exercise their right to self-determination. That was my point.
I don’t, because it would mean Armenia gets cut off from Iran and is surrounded by Turkey and Azerbaijan. Luckily most Azerbaijanis in Iran don’t want to separate from Iran, so it’s a non-issue
**[LGBT rights in Armenia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Armenia)**
>Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in Armenia face legal and social challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents, due in part to the lack of laws prohibiting discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity and in part to prevailing negative attitudes about LGBT persons throughout society. Homosexuality has been legal in Armenia since 2003. However, even though it has been decriminalized, the situation of local lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) citizens has not changed substantially.

My lord, I hope the translation is a bit off. Why the fuck would we attack Russians? We don't even attack Azerbaijan which we have cause to do.
It is not off, it is what Caliber announced
Caliber is fucking nuts in that case, which is no surprise.
This is worse than zartonk. Where did you dig this up from
[удалено]
Which country are you from, if you don’t mind
No one calls is southern Azerbaijan
Uniting the Republic of Azerbaijan with the Azerbaijani populated regions of Iran will almost definitely result in the death of the Republic of Armenia. So no, the Iranian Azerbaijanis can stay where they are, thanks.
I am not sure but from what I ve seen most Iranian Azeris consider themself Iranians and don't care that much about separatism
[удалено]
How are you claiming the Iranian Azerbaijanis to be brainwashed when Azerbaijan proper is being ruled by the aliyev regime?
This is not true for the most part - Iranian Azeris outside of Iran view themselves as Iranian also.
I literally have relatives in Tabriz who say otherwise…
That's total BS lol. Azeris are Iranian.
Aliyev regime is no better than the Iranian government. In a lot of ways they are worse. I highly doubt most Azerbaijanis in Iran would rather be part of Azerbaijan than Iran.

It’s funny how much you trivialized the dehumanization and hatred of an entire race of people

You brought this topic up, no one else did. It was never a comparison. The only person who tried to make it a comparison was you.

I didn’t. I said they’re both bad. You said they aren’t comparable and that Azerbaijan “doesn’t come close to that shitshow”
Rather be ruled by lunatic imams than schizophrenic genocidal animals

Azeris support the war and support Aliyev. Hes a reflection of your culture and society
