In order to understand what happened on the Artsakh-Azerbaijani line of contact, in the opinion of Arman Babajanyan, the leader of the “For the Republic” party, the message spread by the Russian Defense Ministry yesterday, that the Armenian side opened fire on Azerbaijan on October 13, should be understood.
During the discussion organized by the Armenian Center for Democracy and Security, Arman Babajanyan drew attention to one fact: the process started in The Hague, which can not leave Azerbaijan alone, as the arguments of the Armenian side were very well-founded. “The uncertainty created after the Putin-Pashinyan meeting keeps the Azerbaijani side nervous, as well as some Armenian circles, because, in fact, some calculations, which may have been woven and built on the fact that Russia should put pressure on the Armenian side. There seems to be no breakthrough in the corridor issue, at least that breakthrough is not noticeable,” said Arman Babajanyan, adding that we also see that the Azerbaijanis are conducting a process that speaks of the fact that after 2025, they will not want to see Russian peacekeepers on the line of contact. By and large, Arman Babajanyan considers what happened a step aimed at breaking that uncertainty.
For him, however, the meeting between Nuland and Kozak, which proves that the positions of Russia and the United States on the eastern regions of Ukraine, are beginning to coincide, which, of course, can not leave Azerbaijan alone, as the calculations of Turkey and Azerbaijan is that Russia and the West will not be able to reach an agreement, but this ability to reach an agreement changes and shuffles the cards of Turks and Azeris. According to the speaker, this Russia-US dialogue proves that a dialogue is possible in the Artsakh issue, destroying the Turkish-Azerbaijani tandem.
