Totally. That is beyond doubt.
While the Russians could have kept the Azeris in check if they wanted back in 2020,they are so pressed and their logistics and a lot of their weapons found to be so inferior compared to NATO ones,they need to reorganize themselves. I agree with you,the West never was going to do anything. And if you also think about it realistically,even if let's say USA or France or Sweden or whoever else wanted to help Armenians with weapons,supplies and men,how would they do that? They can't pass from Turkey,they can't pass from Iran,they likely won't be allowed to pass from Georgia because of Georgian-Turkish relations. Russians wouldn't let them pass of course. Nobody would let them land on Armenia.
And it's funny because apparently Pashinyan's government never really thought about it or they knew it and continued because they were sellouts.
Yeah but in the year that followed the war. Don't forget that!
Azeris outnumbered them in the 90s war as well. And in everything. Manpower,weapons,equipment,economy etc.
