Very few news items are literally our problem. This is interesting for observers of the region because of the weird dynamics of the coalitions of supporters lining up behind both combatants. It’s like a football game, but played for real stakes, where the rules are made up as the game progresses, there are multiple referees each with his own self-interested bias and the players don’t all get up at the end of the game.

It is not our problem militarily, but the US can do a lot of good for the Armenians (who are Christian people, the oldest Christian nation in the world) by simply signaling Russia that they have a green light to run over the Azeris without risking international sanctions, while simultaneously condemning Erdogan’s Turkey. A formal recognition of the independence of Artsakh would also go a long way and costs nothing.

Not our problem, but my sympathy is with Christian Armenia (backed by Russia) rather than Muslin Azerbaijan (backed by Turkey).
