So funny that some people thought Putin was playing some sort of 5D chess game in the world stage, but in reality he is tick-tack-toe and losing.
It's like the Simpson episode "Lisa and the Dental Plan" when Mr Burns finds of Homer "is not the master tactician I took him for"
he’s not losing in Africa
Not sure what's Turkey playing on because it might backfire but for now, I can say Turkey is on advantage in their backyard.
@@gabrieldsouza6541 A large part of his success in Africa is just because of the bad things France did there. Unless Putin does some really bad things in Africa, he'll always have that support.

As a Georgian I want to say that our relation with Russia was never good. It get really bad after we decided to leave USSR in 90s. Russia stimulated conflicts in the region by financing ethnic groups and providing arms. We have lost Abkhazia region in 90s after 1.5 year of bloody war, after that our country suffered from a huge economic problems, after 10 years and peaceful revolution in 2003 we started growing economy and doing painful reforms and when we thought that we are getting better, Russions planned another conflicts for us. They invided another region of Georgia in 2008. This time was lasted roughly 3 days and we lost control of the region. Georgia is not an Ukraine, It is a very small country and stopping such enemy like Russia is really hard.
Now with Russia moving its hated yet illegitimate Black Sea naval fleet that has been f**ked up very badly by Ukraine to Abkhazia, a breakaway region in northwestern Georgia/Sakartvelo, I think Georgia/Sakartvelo may already find itself dragged back into war against an already rabid Russia. This time, the war in Ukraine may already turn into an all-out war in the northern and eastern ends of the Black Sea.
🇦🇺❤🇬🇪
I agree in general that Russua is evil, but I would like to hightlight that Russia had internationaly recognized cause to intervent in the 2008th conflict as a "peace keeper" between Osetia and Georgia's central government. Unfortunately, Georgia's strike was more a gamble than a though out strategy and it failed.

I really don't think Azerbaïdjan and especially Georgia were ever Russia's allies. Don't get me wrong, Putin definitely lost the support of Armenia and I'm sure he's mad about it but he can't be mad about losing support he never had anyway. I mean is TLDR not aware that Russia invaded Georgia long before Ukraine?

You know that these people don't care about reality. The facts that Russia lost these regions when the SU collapesed won't bother them. Soon we will see them reporting Russia losing its influence over Alaska.
At least people from Georgia played pivotal roles in the USSR. The last secretary for foreign affairs of the USSR, Shevernadze, was from Georgia. And most importantly Stalin was too.

Little correction, Georgia has tense relations with Russia since 1991 as Russia supported with arms Georgias breakaway regions, 2008 was only escalation provoked by Russia. Unification of southern caucasus might be a game changer, however that will be hard because Armenia and Azerbaijan hate Each other, Turkey and Armenia hate each other, only Georgia has a good relations with every southern neighbour, but it seems hard to make them talk to each other.
Tshakasvili started that war
@@felipe-vibor Nope, Russians with separatists started shelling Georgian villages several days before Georgians responded. Besides even if in some imaginary univesrse you are right, that is Georgias internal matter, how they decide to reclaim their territories has nothing to do with Russia.

As an armenian, i can say one thing, Armenia has been Russia's biggest supporter, for at least a hundred years we thought russia was on our side, being a Christian country sandwiched between Muslims, but now how russia played armenia, pushing Azerbaijan to attack, that's one thing TLDR didn't do research on, the recent war, wasn't Azerbaijan being pushed by turkey, it was given the green light by russian, otherwise Azerbaijan would never dare start a war without russia giving the go ahead. it was basically Iran who saved armenia. if russia ever returns to armenia, I am not sure they'll have a base to return to

@@joeyjojojrshabadoo7462yes ppl said it in 1905 and they were right, and they said it again in 1989 and they were right lmao
Under Putin it is 100%
Fun fact:
Erdoğan's family is orginally from a city called Rize in Northeastern Turkey, and he's essentially of ethnically Georgian descent.
(*** a lot of Muslim populations from the Balkans and Caucasus region have assimilated into Turkish identity since 19th and early 20th centuries).
So what’s your point? He’s calling himself Turk. It’s not the dna that makes a country strong to it’s roots, it’s the culture of those poeple, Turkish people have a strong history and due to that a strong culture.
It’s the same as saying your not American your German or your Chinese or this and that, which is not true. It’s the American culture that makes a person American, same goes for Turkish people or any other nation in the world.
There are lots of Turks with Circassian, Chechen, and Dagestani roots too, not only Georgians. We used to be Ottoman Empire, and we received large Muslim immigrations from Caucasus during 19th and 20th century. That`s completely normal. We are all Turkish today.
There are no Georgians living in Rize, there are only Turkish and Laz population in Rize. I don't know where you got this information from
@@dhjddjjejdjf1680 Laz people originally are Georgians...
It goes to Turkey. They now have the advantages.
Why do you use belittling/derogatory language as "some sort of Turkic language". It is not "some sort of " Turkic language. These are actual Turkic people that in fact speak Turkic languages. To the point that some of them like Azerbaijani and Turkish (Turkey) are mutually intelligible.
I don't understand what benefit a social media news agency get from mocking the historical and cultural unity of a certain group of people? Is it because these Turkic people also occupy the current borders of China, Russia, Iran and they don't want a potential unity between these people. And that you have a conflicting interest? Are they shutting off the money tap if you speak in favor of the Turkic people?
The term Turk has always been an insult, even in the Ottoman Empire (esek turk etc.). They’d call themselves ottomans, if someone called them Turks they would’ve been insulted. Turk = barbaric invaders from Mongolia, ottoman = civilized
@@xxxy912 I understand your inferiority complex and the urge to insult Turks in every platform you can find. And I'm sorry about what happened to your ancestors. Ottomans insulted Turks, because Turks were their greatest enemy, and they were right about it. It's not like they insulted themselves. They insulted the rise of nationalist movements which was ignited after the French revolution in the 19th century. You see, Turcoman was the word found in Grecoroman text to describe Turkic (mainly Oghuz) speaking people who inhabited Anatolia and Levant. One of those Turcoman beyliks in the west Anatolia and Thrace were Ottomans. Ottomans didn't call themselves Turks, they probably used the exact sub-branch name to describe themselves, which can be Oghuz, Kipchak, things like that. The term "Turk" is the original name given to the ancient Gokturks (Skyturks) who lived in Mongolia around 1500 years ago. From Siberia to Istanbul, all Turkic speaking people trace their roots back to (Gok)Turks. When the Turkish republic is founded, we adopted this word as our nation's name and deported everybody who insulted our name. I guess that includes your grandparents, too.
Yes, TLDR people do not know these historical facts and details, they are just kiddies:)
Quick Google research and orientalist view isnt enough to make good content, you know
Probably aside from Tuva, which has a lot of Mongolian words, one can pick up almost all of the Turkic languages in about two weeks, especially if you are immersed with them.
North Caucasus region should gain independence from Russia
Dagestan, Chechnya, Ingushesti, Karbadyno, Balkaria, Karachay cherkesia, Adygea

then by that same logic why doesn't Crimea deserve independence from Ukraine? Or South Ossetia from Georgia?

Quite a lot of problems with the video. Firstly Georgia and Russia have no borders disputes it's all about Russia's funding and arming separatist regions in Georgia and the subsequent invasion of the country twice. As for Armenia and Azerbaijan, their relationship was never good, the corridor you are referring to from my knowledge it is not being used as Armenia objects and Azerbaijan has given up so now they use a pipeline in Georgia. So the whole energy infrastructure goes from Azerbaijan to Georgia and then to Turkey.
Isn't Erdogan himself a Georgian?

Yes, Türkiye intervened Azerbaijan's relations with Armenia not only to benefit from its gas but also because they are Turks and our brothers. And second, in the Turkic States Organization; Hungary, Turkmenistan, and Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus are observer states (for now :)) It is possible that they become member states in the near future.
I am shocked how TLDR rolled out a video with so much misinformation. WTF
she's fire tho
What has that to do with the video
Hmm, don't know how much I agree with this video's assertions. First and foremost using 'zangezur corridor' as the nomenclature for it is neither appropriate nor accurate. Following that up with the assertion that opening the route under pressure seems to be working without providing any evidence of this taking place is incorrect as well. Like seriously, I'd dearly appreciate them sharing where this can be seen, since as it stands we haven't had any discussion on this route for a few weeks now. Also it's funny how Iran resisting against the route is framed as just 'upsetting' Armenia, and not the fact that it risks further eroding Armenian sovereignty especially given the latest flare-ups at the border due to the Azeris.
Don't know what's up with this video, normally tldr europe does a better job of depicting local developments, even if it's done with a euro perspective
I like this channel. We don't get a lot of news on Europe in my country so all this news is very informative.
Its a sign of Russia's weakness. Turkey and Russia played their power games in the ares for centuries. When one gets weak the other moves in
Also before the war in 2008, Russia had been giving Ossetians weapons to attack villages and when Georgua fell for their set-up and went with tanks to deal with these guerilla attacks. That;s when Russian army which was already close to Georgia, attacked us. Claiming that we are also N*zis and attacking their citizens... Same story that they abuse with everyone...

True
Excellent report, thank you TLDR!
While others mentioned other False Statements, which this video is surprisingly full of, one thing i couldnt let go. Making a Statement that the "Zangezur Corridor is under the de facto control of Armenia" is misleading. There is no Zangezur Corridor at the moment and its a fact. The strip of land that the video refers to, is the official Armenia Iran border which is fully recognized by both Armenia and Iran and the wider international community. Please be careful in the statements u make. This also refers to the Gyumri military base which has nothing to do with the "Russian Peacekeepers" in Nagorno Karabakh. Its great u re talking about this, but be careful with manipulating willingly or unwillingly some facts.
Exactly
Exactly - Russian peacekeepers are in Azerbaijan territory per Aliyev's authorization. Also Zangezour Corridor is a myth - Armenia doesn't even have a region with that name.
The corridor is part of the peace process.
@@almazchati4178Yes, but Armenians are rejecting its name, for them it is true because they call Zanzegur as Syunik.
@@boraboranloglu9489 It does not matter if they are rejecting the name. It is part of the cease fire agreement. A corridor will be established with Nahçevan, whether they like it or not!
It will be to Iran's interest to allow it, unless they want US and Israel in Armenia.
Kinda a lot of falsehoods. Here you guys need to do som clarifications.
1) The nagorno karabakh war began in 2020 before the Ukraine war and Russian troops in gyumri were still stationed in gyumri
2) the zangezur corridor has not been realized and Armenia is rejecting any corridor and only green lighting opening of roads. Azerbaijan is not interested in this so there is yet no agreement
They are arrogant enough to spread misinformation and hurt others unknowingly
Not correct. Ceasefire agreement signed in 2020 has a clause for this:
9. All economic and transport connections in the region shall be unblocked. The Republic of Armenia shall guarantee the security of transport connections between the western regions of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic in order to arrange unobstructed movement of persons, vehicles and cargo in both directions. The Border Guard Service of the Russian Federal Security Service shall be responsible for overseeing the transport connections.
@@ovuncozkan125 No ceasefire agreement was ever signed. What you mention is a declaration that Putin and Aliyev signed together which isn't even worth the paper it was signed on, like anything else Putin ever signed. Nobody asked for Armenia's opinion.
@@ovuncozkan125 bro are you serious? That agreement is a piece of toilet paper at this point. Mind you that there is no karabakh anymore and neither is there any lacin corridor. Every single point in that document has been violated. Stop these fantasies about that document. That clause went out of the window when Azerbaijan decided to close the lacin corridor and occupy Karabakh
clearly shows that you get your info from western sources. the karabakh war didn't start in 2020, it started in 1992, when the separatists took over khankendi (stepanakert) and azeri forces responded, with armenian mainland forces joining later on to support separatists. after major fights and continuous wins by separatists, the war stagnated in 1994. after that, there was a little counterattack by azeri forces in 2016 and a major counterattack operation in 2020, followed by anti-terrorist operation in 2023, completely ending the occupation. armenians present the war as if it started in 2020, only to omit the atrocities they committed in 1992-94, and the fact that they were the ones to provoke the war, they try to present themselves as victims, which isn't true.
Really enjoying the new presenters/writers
Seems this more involves Turkey arranging trade, pipelines, & organization, but Russia seemed aware & okay so long as Caucasus maintained peace, always formidable task despite a region known for tenuous relations & occasional conflict that prolly involves global participants beyond the region. Not long ago, there was a conference which provide consideration for those nations mentioned Azerbaijan & Armenia. Was this another aspect ultimately contribute toward the BRI?

How does international trade flowing through Turkey, provide it with foreign currency?
I work for a company in europe that has Turkish trade partners. I think I could inform you about this.
Turkish companies tend to ask to be paid in Euro's and or dollars instead of Turkish liras. This is a very common practise for Turkish companies, because they view these foreign currencies as stable. As you may know business is not very fond of uncertainty and the Lira fluctuates too much in value. So when a Turkish company does business with another business outside of Türkiye, foreign currency enters the Turkish economy, so it would be correct to say that. International trade provides Turkey with foreign currency.
i kind of hate the fact that we're expected to spell turkey with a letter that doesn't exist in english.

Armenia was occupying Nagorno Karabağ against the international law, after the war crimes/genocide they'd committed in Hocali in 1992. Azerbaycan just took some part of its own territory back, with the help of Turkey. End of communication.
Hope they don't use Turkeys help to get rid of Armenians. Again. Oh, they did, nevermind
4:30 what are you talking, ??? Check everything before make statements.
Ok unrelated but you TLDR sticker on your laptop is crooked! Sorry OCD.. LOL
man chnage that thumbnail attaching Armenia to turkey is an offence
Right? Turkey is literally helping to conduct a genocide against Armenia. It's more than a "stretch of the imagination" to think that Armenia and Turkey are working together
So you rather armenia be attached to russia?
If international politics offend you, maybe you should go back to watching roblox gameplays.
Is not, Armenia is defacto under Turkish influence because, well, they really can't do anything to oppose them anymore as Russia is more interested in Ukraine.
Is horrible but is either doing what Turkey wants and hopefully getting something in return or risk having more territory taken as an "energy corredor," for example. They are in a really horrible spot.
What do you mean? Armenian and Turkish are best friends.
Russia really shot themselves in the foot by invading Ukraine & not intervening in Armenia while it was attacked by Azerbaijan despite them having a treaty.
Putin could not uphold that treaty because he was too busy violating the other.
That's because Turkey has Russia by the balls. Intervening against Azerbaijan would ruin relations with Turkey. They lose Turkey, they lose the black sea
Russia doesnt shoot their feet, they shoot everyone elses
Armenia was never attacked by Azerbaijan. Spreading falsehoods, yeh?
Armenia is still being attacked by Azerbaijan even today 😂😂😂. You are spreading lies @@user-rt4fw5fk3u
Putin doesn't require caucasus. He has enough land mass in russia which needs growth & development.
Then why did Putin do a bloody Chechnya war?
The Russian aspect is probably no surprise to any of the experts. If Russia is unable to respond due to its commitments in Ukraine, then how can the Kremlin ever expect to advance beyond Ukraine - I mean if their ultimate goal is to restore Soviet borders ?
Turkey 🇹🇷 The Next Regional Middle power. I think that the next Century will see the decline of superpowers and the rise of Regional middle Powers.
Really? I see the opposite. Almost everywhere there's a nuclear power atm, they're harassing their neighbours. China, Russia, Israel
not the next century wake up, its happening already now
Lmao. European Union is obviously the big player in the political shift, Türkiye just tries to grapple what it can
I wish. Unfortunately we are disappointing Ukraine with our lack of action, disappointing USA with our lack of reliability, disappointing ourselves with our lack of capacity to centralize decision-making a little bit. We need to do better! At least France is helping armenia.
No, the EU will radically change in 2024 with far right and nationalist parties having more to say in European parliament.
Turkey*
Yeah, It is weird that the biggest winner is never talked about in this video.
Kinda true. Now France is arming Armenia. Azerbaijan already warned that arming them means another war.
Let's see who can win next war, maybe French weapons are better than Turkish, we will see on the battlefield.
Theres the world globe saying part of armenia. Is that correct?
don't get me wrong and take into consideration that i'm not russian nationalist either but russia throughout history almost lost its influence over Caucaus but when he comes back with more bad (in negative meaning). this happens to us frequently since 1700s'. as azerbaijani i hope this would end soon but the geography is fate whatever you say
Amazing how everyone dealing with Russian experience ambiguity, lack of trust and troubles. From Russians I want to be as far as possible
That is because the Russians only believe in zero-sum games, as in.. in order for Russia to "win" everyone else have to lose. The idea of a win/win scenario does not exist for the russian state.
Fucking Racist
The Turks originally came from Central Asia.
Just like hungarians, finns, bulgarians, azerbaijanis…
@@utku_baloglu you can find nobody in central asia who talks hungarian, finnish or bulgarian language. but many Turkic language....
@@XY-uc1tw you cant find right now cause they migrated centuries ago like Turkey's Turks but other Turkic tribes stayed in asia. Thats why.
And Americans originally came from Europe and Africa. What is your point?
@@odenat3701 Don't forget the so-called Native Americans who came from Asia across the Bering Strait, long before Europeans and Africans arrived by boat
Tdlr bellow
They’re not “losing grip” they already gave it up. There was a meeting in 2020 during the Karabakh war between Putin, Lukasenko, Aliev and Erdogan, after which Russia allowed Azerbaijan to continue the invasion, then froze the conflict but promised to hand it over at a later date, which came after 2022 when Russia allowed Azerbaijan to begin complete consolidation of Karabakh in exchange for turkey helping them subvert NATO sanctions. Now turkey and Azerbaijan will take more land & then either completely annex or force Armenia to give full transit access without border controls over southern Armenia, creating a land bridge between turkey and Azerbaijan which also links turkey to Central Asia over the Caspian sea which will allow for more military and geopolitical pan Turkic integration and also eventually the destruction of Russian power in Central Asia. This probably wasn’t anticipated by Russia as they thought they’d be selling Karabakh for sanctions relief during just a few months long war with Ukraine. But now it’s spiralled out of control for them.
Tdlr Russia decided helping Armenia wasn’t worth the trouble (problems with turkey) so they gave them up for help against Ukraine sanctions
Typical armenian nationalist 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤦♂️
I think TLDR should stray from the word "myopic". It's a value judgement, although not inaccurate.
More information to add
-Gaining role of India in Armenia sending arms like Pinaka Missile systems
-India's interest to support Armenia to counter balance with the support of Azerbaijan in the Kashmir issue to Paxtan...
-France and India having friendly relations is another reason...
-North South Transit Corridor (maybe gonna start later after the Ukraine war ends )
-Entry of India and France means a counter to NATO and also connecting Chabahar port of Iran to Armenia to mainstream Iran.
