Well, I said more then a week ago they it’s easier to take shusha than Lachin. AZE are following the path of lease resistance. They didn’t protect Shusha as well as agdam because they thought AZE need to take Agdam before They get to shusha.
ARM have only been fortifying Shusha for a week I think. But their military leadership and people think that AMR army is just a breath away from final victory. So there is not need for them to defend such cities too much. They are quite sure that AZE army is at the point of exhaustion, with drones neutralised, Wagner group at the ready, and the final push is just waiting Pashinayans orders.
Final push will take place with tank columns (already destroyed) airspace secured with s300’s (destroyer) and Wagner group at the front (non existent). And Azeiris, if they capitulate soon, ARM will promise not to take any new AZE territory. This is exactly what most soldiers think, all the military leadership and the population too and pashinyan. The only Armenians that know what’s going on are the diaspora.
So when the cities are taken, there might be negotiations for the mountains not already taken. And in exchange Armenians will have some sort of cultural autonomy and folklore dancing groups.
