We initially wanted to focus on your visit to Armenia, but world events compel us to take a short detour.</p> <h2 id="escalation-in-syria">Escalation in Syria</h2> <p>Just as there seemed to be hope for a respite in Lebanon with a cease fire deal, which by the way is being violated daily by Israel, terrorist groups, some of whom enjoy the support, if not patronage, of Turkey, Israel and the US commenced an attack in Syria, taking control of the Aleppo and some surrounding towns and areas. Thus, a six year fragile peace that was agreed upon by Turkey, Iran, and Russia in <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/10/30/syrian-war-all-you-need-to-know-about-the-astana-talks">Astana</a> in 2017 was violated, increasing the instability in the region.</p>https://podcasts.groong.org/watch/391-jeffrey-sachs-cop29-syria-azerbaijan-armenia-geopolitics-brzezinski-grand-chessboard-russia-iran-turkey/Thu, 05 Dec 2024 11:00:00 -0800https://podcasts.groong.org/watch/391-jeffrey-sachs-cop29-syria-azerbaijan-armenia-geopolitics-brzezinski-grand-chessboard-russia-iran-turkey/<h2 id="episode-summary">Episode Summary</h2> <p>Escalation in Syria.

We are explicitly avoiding calling the process with Azerbaijan a “peace agreement” because there can be no peace signed with a gun pointed to your head, no matter what Pashinyan wants to call it.</p>https://podcasts.groong.org/watch/171-arthur-khachikyan-yeghia-tashjian-monitors-russia-west-iran-armenia-relations-lebanon/Sun, 23 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0400https://podcasts.groong.org/watch/171-arthur-khachikyan-yeghia-tashjian-monitors-russia-west-iran-armenia-relations-lebanon/<h2 id="episode-summary">Episode Summary</h2> <p>Monitors in Armenia.
