December 10, 2020: It has been a month since a Russian sponsored peace proposal ended 44 days of fighting between Azerbaijan and Armenia. For the first time, Azerbaijan won, thanks to Turkish intervention and lots of modern Turkish and Israeli military equipment. Israel publicly supported Azerbaijan. Russia immediately supplied 2,000 troops to supervise and expedite both sides carrying out the terms of the peace deal. This includes both sides withdrawing or moving some of their troops. Russia convinced Armenia that they were losing the battle and risked losing all disputed territory inhabited by Armenians. There were some benefits for Armenia. Azerbaijan ended its economic blockade of Armenia that had been in force since 1991. Turkey was rewarded with direct land access between Turkey and Azerbaijan that does not require crossing Georgian or Iranian territory.
