Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

Why doesn't it take the Jermuk-Karvachar route? Geography? Having a route coming directly from the south, from the heart of Armenia, rather than from a remote area of Armenia that then runs close to the Azerbaijan border, would be more strategically important.

The point your making is quite reasonable,azeris can easily target the highway with their short range missles and in case of invasion until our troops throw them back to the original borders,but the reason might be because 1.it might be less mountainous (im not familiar with geographics of the area) 2.we might have more bases around whom can easily access the highway 3.The route passing thru hearth of armenia might be project thats gonna be constructed in the soon future

There is also the Mrav mountains which is a very good natural boundry.
Impossible invasion route.

Short range missile attack would mean war and retaliation.

A strong Armenian Airforce can guarantee that our roads stay open for supplies to the front in case of an Azeri attempt to take land.
