My Comment: When Armenia agreed to a long term military agreement with Russia, Azerbaijan had to react .... hence this border incident. This low intensity conflict has been going on since the breakup of the Soviet Union, and with a defacto annexation of Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding areas now becoming a fat-accompli .... Azerbaijan is reacting to a trend that it correctly perceives is not in its best interest.
