1. Now you just need to have a few superpowers step in...

Send in truckloads of weapons and we've got another proxy war on our hands.

2. Dunno. Russia seems to be the prime player in that region. Look at the history.

The only other interested parties might be Iran and Turkey. Doubt they would want to be in play.

3. Armenia-Azerbaijan: Dozens dead in overnight clashes

Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said 49 of its soldiers died in overnight clashes.

The two countries have fought two wars and seen regular smaller clashes over the course of three decades.

Russia said it brokered a ceasefire for the latest outbreak. Armenia initially said only that the fighting had calmed, rather than ended completely.

Later, Azerbaijan said it had completed its objectives following "provocations" from its neighbour.
