Neil Hauer, Asia Times: Winter could force resolution of Karabakh row
While a snowbound stalemate is possible, so is the realization on both sides that a lasting peace deal makes sense
STEPANAKERT – Since September 27, Armenia’s and Azerbaijan’s forces have slugged it out over the contested territory of Nagorno-Karabakh, the de facto independent region that remains de jure a part of Azerbaijan.
The losses inflicted have been heavy. Winter, too, is on its way.
And it is particularly the latter that may offer a glimpse at Azerbaijan’s reason for starting the war, with help and perhaps prompting by Turkey.
But it could also present an opportunity for a long-term solution to this dispute.
First, the casualties. Armenia and its ethnic compatriots in Karabakh have announced more than 500 combat deaths so far, a staggering number given their combined population of barely 3 million.
Azerbaijan has refused to release statistics, although videos of Azeri soldiers’ bodies piled together after various battles suggest they are also high.

Mayor of Anchorage
On July 1, 2015, Berkowitz was sworn in as Anchorage's mayor. In his inauguration speech he urged city residents and leaders to work to overcome differences and "rise above the immediacy and smallness of the moment".[18]
On October 13, 2020, he announced that he would resign, effective October 23, after he acknowledged the previous day that he had been in a "consensual, inappropriate messaging relationship" with KYUR television anchor Maria Athens.[19][20][21]
Mayor should not not resign, but he did.
Okay, maybe not
