Armenia isn't doing anything. They can send weapons and men, officially. They haven't. They won't get hit by turkey or Azerbaijan because of Russia and CSTO.
So no, there is plenty Armenia can do but won't do it.

Sorry, it was a link off a link and in Russian hence the translated version fully posted. I probably looked at 12 or more of them at that time and unfortunately cannot locate the original at this time.

Some analysts are even claiming that Russia is not being honest, since Armenian territory has been "attacked" by Azerbaijan already in some occasions in this war, but if that is the case, then why is Armenian military not engaging Azeri troops proper? Why are they not moving things at the UNSC to get NK recognized? Why no referendum under conditions of threat for the Armenian population there? They are not moving a finger either politically or militarily but expect Russia to be their bitches, honestly they can go to hell...

I'm sure Armenians r sending people & arms/ammo,etc. to NK- they r under the martial law & general/total mobilization, with Ks of volunteers signing up to join the army.

And I am sure that Russia is giving covert support.
So let's cut the crap about Russia failing to help Armenia in this thread.
If people want Russia to get involved overtly, then Armenia has to first.

Armenians fighting like lions in Karabakh. Azerbaijanis suffering heavy losses. Nearly 1200 documented KIA in only 1 month. That's some mighty high casualties for a country of only 9 million people. Azerbaijani offensive running out of steam after getting lured into mountain.

They don't need to do anything undercover and much less let their youth and responsible citizens get killed while their military is idle in the face of claimed attacks against their territory and their diplomats indulge in making empty statements. There are conditions in the UN charter they can invoke to recognise NK, it is their brethren in the end that are getting slaughtered and losing their land. These are the deeds of a treacherous government and Russia can plainly see through their rethoric

Turkic genocidal aggression against Christians laid bare for all the world to see. Time for Russia to act. Azerbaijan is Russia's enemy. Turkey is Russia's enemy. Unlike Armenia which votes in Russia's favor at UNGA, Azerbaijan and Turkey vote against Russia at UNGA.

Azerbaijanis bomb Armenia proper and Russians are chilling. Russians be like. Ah heck, I didn't see that. Heck, even if Azerbaijani army marches on Yerevan Russians be like no way man I'm sure our Azerbaijani partners are merely trying to take back the Azerbaijani enclaves in Armenia. Pffft, whatever man. Whatever.

Re: 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war #2
It is beyond me how the Russian Foreign ministry keeps talking in regards to Turkey as a 'partner' when it is going directly against Russian interests by formulating alliances with Georgia, Ukraine and fighting Russia in Libya, Syria and the Caucasus.
Here is a good post to read:
I now seriously doubt that Russia will involve themselves in Armenia. It has been over a day since the Armenians invoked the 'Treaty of Friendship' (which is a similar treaty that Russia had/has with Syria) and there has been no real action to date.
All the while Turkey bolsters it's forces in Idlib... They have even claimed that they consider these territories as 'theirs'. I wonder when will they consider Crimea as 'theirs' and will start to cause all kinds of misery? They are already plan to build a drone factory in Ukraine...
And yet Putin ignores this, hoping for 'positive' dialogue with his Turkish partners. Continuing the same mistakes they've made with the United States and Europe. It is time to count your losses and move on.
Here is a good post to read:
Полковник Александр Жилин специально для канала «Военкор Котенок»:
«Эрдоган готов воевать с Россией до последнего азербайджанца»
По-моему, уже всем разумным от народа стало понятно, что вести всякие переговоры с Ильхамом Алиевым нет никакого смысла. Его полномочия подверглись обрезанию хозяином. Раджеп Эрдоган выстроил идеальную для себя схему. Заставив Алиева развязать карабахский военный конфликт, он зажёг бикфордов шнур войны против России на Кавказе и, при этом всю вину за происходящее возложил на Алиева, чья судьба предрешена. Судя по некоторым разведпризнакам, Эрдоган не прочь распространить войнушку затем и в Поволжье. Замечу, что в Афганистане подготовлены к наступлению вдоль Каспия значительные силы ИГИЛ, которые в своё время были выведены из-под нашего удара американцами и вывезены военно-транспортной авиацией США.
Опытный и эффективный политик Эрдоган, чтобы о нём не говорили наши пропагандисты, действует решительно. Агрессия против Арцаха уже использована ним для превращения Азербайджана в свой военный ресурс, и он готов воевать до последнего азербайджанца не только в Арцахе, но и в других местах.
Может ли Эрдоган решиться на военный конфликт с Россией? Безусловно. Не случайно ведь он накачивает Закавказье террористами. Это их руками турецкий президент может устроить кровавую баню на нашем Кавказе. Вот почему мы не имеем права бросить Армению-Арцах на растерзание, нравится кому-то в Кремле Пашинян или нет. Идёт проверка на слабо не Армении, а России!
Замечу, что у нас никто не замечает стремительно крепнущего альянса Анкары и Киева. А на Украине, напомню, американские «партнёры» активно содействовали подготовке бойцов диверсионно-террористических подразделений. Сколько их было подготовлено за постмайданное время, один Бог знает. Таким образом, можно вести речь о консолидации антироссийских сил у наших границ.
Что и кто стимулирует антироссийские силы к активным, даже безумным действиям? Ну, кроме наших извечных врагов? На мой взгляд, наша пассивная позиция. Сосредоточившись на глухой обороне в углу ринга, мы пытаемся уговаривать соперника повременить с нокаутом. Эрдоган, похоже, поверил в своё превосходство, в т.ч. при поддержке НАТО. Или кто-то думает, что в случае 14-й войны с Турцией НАТО поддержит нас?
Глухая оборона, если за ней не последует встречный бой, приводит только к поражению.
Поясню: я не призываю атаковать танками всех и вся. Речь идет об эффективных гибридных действиях. А это возможно, только если власть сформулирует образ будущего – за что воевать, образ победы – в чем его суть. А пока мы смахиваем на корабль без руля и ветрил.
P.S. Сергей Шойгу против которого ополчилось либеральное крыло правительства, а главарь Минфина бьёт ВС РФ в спину, в одиночку решить все задачи национальной безопасности страны решить не в состоянии, будь он семи пядей во лбу…».

Last time I checked those Azeri oil facilities are still chugging along and those Armenian Iskanders are still in their garages
And NK is still unrecognized by Armenian government

Getting pounded by Azerbaijan and Turks is precisely what would trigger Russian involvement, all Armenians need to do is to show some balls and get serious about this supposedly important issue
But they don't want to do that do they because it could possibly upset Brussels and cause inconvenience for voters in Armenia

CSTO is a defensive org, if Armenia takes offensive action in NK, Russia is still under no obligation to support them.
The Azeri's and Turk would be free to target their forces at that stage.

Treaty of friendship is not defensive pact and Armenia is not under military threat
Military assistance would require them to invoke CSTO treaty but they have no conditions required to invoke it and even if they had it would upset Brussels so they won't be invoking it anyway

True, and their Su-30SM are parked while Azeri drones are used to humiliate them and even amidst constant claims of Turkish F-16 involvement in the fight...
PapaDragon wrote:

Exactly!
Man, some people and even entire countries have some serious reckoning in front of them when they realize Russia does not owe them shit and will act only when it is beneficial to them, not to please the whims of any arrogant foreign elites or even in reaction to some Russians' deep seated complex of guilt. Enough is enough.

Turkey is far more dangerous to Russia and US and Europe. While the western world is democratic, Turkey is a dictatorship where drones are built by the thousands to take over the world.

NK is recognized by Armenia unofficially, the same way northern Syria is recognized by Turkey as part of Turkey unofficially. Pushinyan visted NK multiple times. His son served in NK. Can't say the same about Putin with regards to Donbas.

Azerbaijan claims Turkish F-16 stationed in Azerbaijan shot down 2 Armenian air force Su-25. Meanwhile, Azerbaijani Su-25 pounding the crap out of Armenians using Turkey supplied laser guided bombs after Turkish TB2 took out Armenian AD.

Turkish TB2 blasted 2 of Armenian army's 6 Smerch. That's gotta hurt.
It's pretty clear by this point Armenians are no match for the Turkey + Azerbaijan Turkic duo. An invasion and annexation of Armenia the way Turkey did in northern Syria is in the cards if Russia is silent.

Depend what weapon. If only atgm or suicide drone that started to be used by SAA in Idlib then 50 tons represent a good amount of them.
If it's ammo for artillery then it's nothing.
