The gains that Azerbaijan made in September 2022 are particularly striking because of the way in which they widened the conflict footprint.
Azerbaijan has taken control, as I mentioned, of 140 square kilometres of Armenia itself. From their commanding position—they control very geographically important mountains and heights—the Azerbaijani soldiers have the capability to strike even further into the country and potentially, as you rightly mentioned, cut the southern part of Armenia off from the rest of the country. Local officials and foreign experts say about 40% of homes and villages were destroyed. The main reason is, of course, to have a linkage with Nakhchivan.
Of course, I think we'll still have time to talk about Nakhchivan and the issue of the corridor that Azerbaijan is raising, but to your point, I wanted to say that you rightly mentioned that they now have positions that will allow them to cut part of Armenia off from the rest of the country in a matter of days.
