2023-01-09
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
by Stanislav Tarasov

... Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan...
compared to the United States: geographic proximity, a demonstrative willingness to use force, and backed by action claims that its interests and stakes are much higher than those of Washington and its allies and partners. As a result, American diplomats feel insecure in the region and refuse to work in it.
