What is Baku upset about, they just took an American base?
To control, or dominate Iran, Mr. Bush has to encircle it: Afghanistan to the East, Turkey/Azerbaijan to the North, Iraq to the West, the South are already U.S. stooges. Pipelines, in effect, will become the new Berlin Wall. See the map attached below.
This probably is why Bush has demanded Turkey open its border with Armenia. Armenia being situated between Turkey and Azerbaijan.
Bush wants Armenia in order to surround Iran, Armenia being on Iran’s northern border. He needs to get the Russians out of Armenia.
Note: In 1997, Armenia and Russia signed a friendship treaty, under which they provided for mutual assistance in the event of a military threat to either party. The pact also allows Russian border guards to patrol Armenia’s frontiers with Turkey and Iran.

Russia transferring arms to Armenia. May 20 2005 3:53PM Baku alarmed at possible Russian arms transfer to Armenia BAKU. May 20 (Interfax-Azerbaijan) - Baku is alarmed by the announcement made by Russian chief of staff General Yury Baluyevsky that some of the weaponry from Russian military bases in Georgia will be transferred to Armenia, Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov told reporters on Friday.
Azimov said that in the past, Russia diverted some of its weaponry withdrawn from Georgia to Armenia.
"This greatly worries us and we would not want Russia to take this step again," he said.
"Our concern stems from the need to take into account the extremely sensitive situation in the region and the atmosphere of regional security and stability," he said.
