“Economic degradation, immigration dissatisfaction relative to national issues. These are some of the current main issues of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan is a boiling water, not to burst, that country escalates the situation within the zone of Artsakh conflict”, told Azerbaijanologist Grigori Ayvazyan, referring to the possibility of incidents by the adversary on the border ahead of the meeting of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia and Azerbaijan planned at the end of September.
As stated by him, the announcements on giving lands to Azerbaijan made by the political circles of the Republic of Armenia contribute to Azerbaijan’s bellicosity: “Whoever says we should give the lands freed at the cost of blood to Azerbaijan without fight, which threatens to destroy us, s/he is an enemy and a traitor. We give Azerbaijan an opportunity to strain the relations by voicing such opinions by influential figures of the Republic of Armenia. I urge the leadership of the country: wake up, until it is not too late!”
The expert has a concern that no lack of incidents on border will be in place also considering the fact that Azerbaijan is in the worst economic and political situation. “Escalation should not be mixed with a recurrence of a large-scale war”, he highlights.
