Re: map, yeah, I completely spaced on Azerbaijan (I'd been basing the IRI proximity based on flags seen in Kadyrov's VK feed; oops!). But last I saw the Жара festival is pretty much an ЕдРо-fest; in general should I be counting the Azerbaijani in the RF camp or not? > crack down on non-Chechen language music and culture.

> should I be counting the Azerbaijani in the RF camp or not Azerbaijan is basically in the Western camp. Türkiye is the primary defense guarunteer for Azerbaijan and Israel is supporting Azerbaijan [0] as Iran has been supporting Armenia [1], and Israel has a listening post in Azerbaijan [2] The only reason Russia hasn't intervened to support Armenia is in retaliation for Pashinyan overthrowing Russia aligned Sargsyan [3] in 2018. The failure to defend Nagorno-Karabakh has cauased violent instability in Armenia [4], which 100% will guarantee Sargsyan returning to power in the next 2 years.

  thx! Radio Yerevan was asked: "Is it true that the Caucasus region is standing on the edge of an abyss?" Radio Yerevan answered: "No. It used to be true, but now we have taken a big step forward."
