Or, Azerbaijan decided to try to launch a small military operation to try to “change the facts on the ground” that would tilt the situation more in its favour and recapture lost lands - and Azerbaijan is indeed saying it captured some small pieces of territory.

This kind of operation would have the additional benefit of distracting the Azerbaijani population from the economic woes caused by falling oil prices.

Both the Armenian and Azerbaijani publics, who have good reason to be critical of their leaders, have indeed rallied round the nationalist flag in the last two days and forgotten about domestic problems.

There is now a new truce - declared unilaterally by Azerbaijan - but a fragile one and fighting is reported to continue. Emotions are high and the mood for revenge will be strong. This is not a conflict that the world can continue to ignore.
