Jbravo, if they are so accurate why the bombed cathedral, schools, apartments etc?

[jbravo2] 11/10/2020 12:12

Common sense would tell you that’s rubbish though.
There is ample evidence of Azerbaijan using precision air strikes. Why would they need to put inaccurate rocket launchers in Ganja?
On the other hand very little evidence exists from Armenia of such an accurate capability. It is entirely possible they were aiming at, for example, an airfield in Ganja but their weapons are not capable of such accuracy and they know that of course.

"way under £1",,, the opportunity to buy serious size I'd take,,, well I say that now,, LOL,,,, but, seriously, I'd force through my worries to make that accumulation as it wouldn't cost too much to do so :-),, cheers Wan :-)

As the Americans have found out, it is exceedingly hard to fight urban street by street battles.

A ground war would turn it into a full scale regional war.

It's one thing to fire rockets and send drones, it's another to take over villages and cities with boots on the ground.

[casual47] 11/10/2020 12:05

Celeritas, the Armenian viewpoint on this is that Azerbaijan is embedding military units, including the rocket launchers attacking N-K, within civilian communities, so they have no choice but to strike there.

[jbravo2] 11/10/2020 12:02

Yes I agree that both sides have such mistrust and enmity that any integration attempts (even if they were genuine) would likely end in retribution and failure.
It seems likely that if Azerbaijan does manage to take back ground (seems certain from the coverage we see) it will end up in more displaced civilians.
Of course from an outside view it seems as if some kind of trade off as outlined by a few other posts over the last week or so are the only hope but where both sides say that is unacceptable it seems as if that idea is doomed to failure too.
Indeed those with the upper hand always seem to view it as unnecessary. Undoubtedly this is why Armenia failed to make any concessions for 30 years and it is why Azerbaijan will now view it as unnecessary as they gain ground.

Jeansey
I am holding AAZ I dont see the Armenians wasting a missile on trying to hit a gold mine far better targets to hit. Regards invasion there is no chance Armenia will invade Azerbaijan they would then have to fight Turkey full on without Russian backing so AAZ is safe there I am betting. The issue is the share price off course which is finding another reason not to rise when gold is rising but selling now just bakes in a lower selling price. I appreciate you have held since 5p so an extra few pence in your case is not that important so see your selling reasons.
For me I will hunker down and wait for a better selling point. I am not buying more unless they get to way under £1 even then I may pass as they seem to be constantly finding ways not to rise when they should and other shares are more rewarding.

I think Armenia targeting cities and towns inside Azer is a tactic to use when you know you are losing ground inside the area of dispute. I've seen very little of any Azeri hit outside Nagorno.

Matjos if you look in here, that was a real interesting exchange Peter Tapsell led, first time I’ve read it in full glory, thanks for posting the link.

[casual47] 11/10/2020 11:36

Jbravo, feel free to point it out yourself.

The bombing of civilians in N-K is perhaps more pertinent as it will make it very unlikely that the people in N-K will ever be able to trust Azerbaijani rule over them, which is what this whole war is about, no?

[jbravo2] 11/10/2020 11:25

You’ve moaned about people using Turkish media as a biased source yet you consistently fail to outline the civilian targets/buildings well within Azerbaijan itself that are being destroyed by Armenia.

[beaujolly] 11/10/2020 11:14

Let us hope that the "calmer" situation continues.

[wanobi] 11/10/2020 11:04

when I read your post jeanesy I think of DP's podcast this week, rabbits do nothing, assassins kill their investment and move on and hunters buy more,,, who knows how this will turn out,, for all we know we could be one conference call (with Putin) away from renewed ceasefire,,, or not,,, ah the uncertainty of it all,,, however, from what I can see AZER is taking the territory, not ARM,,, which from an AAZ investment viewpoint is the right way around..... like all, I wish it would stop now!!!,,, but, tomorrow's another day and who knows what will happen... GLA Cheers Wan :-)

[casual47] 11/10/2020 10:53

Just look at how long the Syrian resistance have held out and you should realise that it's easy to overstate the problem of supply chains.

The Azerbaijan drones are being escorted by Turkish F16s and are hitting civilian targets and infrastructure within N-K proper.

If they cannot agree on peace then a war of many years could be on the cards. Surrender is not an option.

[mad foetus] 11/10/2020 10:33

Agree with all that Matt but I think Putins lukewarm support for Armenia is starting to make their position very weak. The Economist is suggesting they will end up giving up a lot of territory in exchange for a land corridor to NK. Whether Az gets its own corridor to join up to the enclave will be interesting. Lots of negotiations to be done at some point

[jeanesy] 11/10/2020 10:20

Sadly the ceasefire is not holding . I really can't see a quick resolution here. The situation with AAZ is now very uncertain imo and perhaps it is time to think seriously about my investment . I have held since the 5p days. Yes i've traded a few but this seems to me to be that blackswan event that you have talked about WAN. The company has said that it is currently not affected. I dont doubt that for a minute but with cities now being targeted and bombed i can only see this situation getting worse and then I can't see how it will not be affected in the long term. Perhaps it is time to seek a safer haven for my money.

[mattjos] 11/10/2020 10:15

The drones that Azerbaijan acquired seem to give them a significant advantage in accurately targeting Armenian military.I suspect Azerbaijan will have concluded that they are still making progress in terms of ground gained & that they should push on. Whether or not they are able to maintain that as Autumn turns to Winter, remains to be seen but, as unpleasant as a long drawn out battle through the Winter may seem, Armenia's supply chains into NK will struggle through the Winter and the plan may simply be to slowly tighten the noose around NK as the snow arrives and then finish it off in the Spring.Rhetoric on both sides does not seem to support the notion of a durable ceasefire any time soon & external nations certainly don't currently seem minded to get involved in any meaningful way to force a peace.As investors in AAZ, I suspect we will have to get used to this situation for some time to come. There do not appear to be any strategic targets near Gedabek that Armenia would identify as worthy of ammunition so, unless there is some sort of rogue missile, Gedabek looks to be 'safer' than many other locations in Azerbaijan.I doubt any of us here can truly understand the strength of local emotions of all this. I simply hope a resolution, of some sort, is reached as soon as possible & people can get back to some sort of normal & get on with their lives without the fear of conflict.

Wan. Yes I hope it does down but not good aiming the cities.

This is reporter who was on BBC world news this morning reporting from Ganja. Seems it was rockets and quite a bit of destruction




#Ganja #Azerbaijan The scene here looks more like all-out war than ceasefire. Seems the Russian brokered truce was dead on arrival. Important to say #Azerbaijan too is accused of violation the truce and shelling civilians areas in #NagornoKarabakh hxxps://t.co/pBYGL4Hvpn
