Re: if war broke out

okay, this went off topic. people haven't asnwered the question. i was wondering how far it could escalate. some intellectual exercising please.

It wouldn't escalate - no matter how much you make an intellectual exercise out of it.
In 1993, Turkish tanks could have been on the streets of Yerevan in a matter of hours if they had chosen to cross the border. But they didn't because, fortunately, not all leaders are like George W. Bush. Most are either intelligent or pragmatic or scared of uncertainty and instability - and they generally have the ability to think further ahead than a few years. It's only if they think that doing nothing will lead to uncertainty or instability for themselves that they will react (i.e. Russia responding to Georgia's invasion). It is unlikely that any country will react in that way if Azerbaijan and Armenia start full scale fighting again. Armenia might win battles, but it can never win a war against Azerbaijan, so nobody will intervene on Azerbaijan's behalf. Only if Azerbaijan starts to commit widespread attrocities in Armenia will there be a posibility of anyone intervening on behalf of Armenia. However, because of Russian military bases in Armenia, Azerbaijan is unlikely to launch any significant attacks on Armenia proper. Azeri's committing attrocities in NK will be acceptable to outside nations - that is already implicit in their attitudes towards NK's independence, so they won't intervene to stop them.

Re: if war broke out

armenia can defend attacks from both turkey and azerbaijan,but before that,battles specially in karabax will coment in azeri fields,Blitzkrieg to eliminate azeris secure armenias back and focus to turkey.

I think politicaly turkey will not move.
NATO will not help turkey,US maybe but not NATO.Dont forget greece and especially cyprus.So if US help turky Russia will definitely do the same for armenia,
If again NATO do somthing it goes WW3 cause it will face CSTO and SCO will help them Iran will go military sup if they want to secure there own teritory from US invasion.

Re: if war broke out

lets see... Because the Armenian government isn't trying to bite off more than it can chew, it is in an advantageous position as it has the blessings of Russia. It is ready to respond to Azeri invaison of Arstakh.

Because Georgia bit off more than it can chew, it suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Russia.

Azerbaijan learned a lesson by watching Georgia's freakshow president go the full 9 yards with Nato support into SO. It also knows that invading Arsakh will lead to dramatic losses at the hands of the very battle ready Armenian forces.

Hopes for Nabucco got destroyed.

Turkey is stuck between Nato and Russia now.

Before answering such questions about how "the battle can escalate", lets confrim that we aren't blind towards the already existing geopolitical reality shall we? There is no such thing as peace SoyElTurco, only lack of civilian or military casualties due to agreements of not blowing eachothers' heads off at a given moment. Just like in chess, two opponents position their pieces strategically, so that though they are capable of killing their opponent, they will suffer losing their attacking piece during the next turn. The goal is to first isolate the other players' vital positions in order to gain a comparative advantage (and then, if all is clear, to destroy them), not to go all out and "escalate" things.
