Pipelines carrying Caspian hydrocarbons to Europe most likely would have been built thru Armenia (dashed line), had it not waged a war against Azerbaijan in 1988.
Today Georgia earns 100s of millions from transit fees in addition to getting cheap gas for its domestic use.
Поставки Газпрома Европу в 2019 г составили 199 млрд куб. м.

An incredible performance from Teimour Radjabov (@rajachess) , who wins the first major of the champions chess tour 2021. He is probably also one of the strongest YouTube streamer you can follow #AirthingsMasters
❗️ #Russian 'peacekeeper' engages in #Armenian propaganda. Calls on 🇦🇲 to return to #Karabakh, while admitting, that they are scared too. Promises, that they will be protected, that everything will fall into place, that good will triumph over evil. #KarabakhisAzerbaijan#Qarabağ

Azerbaijan is the only country of the South Caucasus which:
- Accounts for ~65% of GDP and population of ENTIRE region
- Has common borders with ALL states, incl. Central Asia
Any attempt to exert influence here without regard to Azerbaijan’s lawful interests is doomed.
