Armenian expert: Azerbaijan’s appetite is increasing day by day

, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced last week: Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev’s remarks at the inauguration show the possibility of local conflicts that could lead to a large-scale war.

Armenian political experts, referring to the words of the head of the Armenian government, who confirms that all peace agreements have reached zero, believe that Pashinyan’s statements can justify new concessions to the Republic of Azerbaijan.

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev announced at the inauguration ceremony: If the territorial claims against us are not stopped and if Armenia does not change its laws to normal, there will be no peace agreement.

Nazli Baghdasarian, the spokesperson of the Prime Minister of Armenia said: Armenian legislation is related to the internal affairs of the Republic of Armenia and no foreign power has the right to interfere in the internal affairs of our country.

Baghdasarian said on February 14: The Republic of Azerbaijan regularly violates these agreements, continues its aggressive rhetoric, uses force and threatens. Regarding the territorial claims, Armenia adheres to the agreements concluded with the Republic of Azerbaijan based on the Alma-Ata Declaration on the recognition of each other’s territorial integrity, the agreements reached regarding the delimitation of the borders of the two countries, the opening of regional communications based on the principles of sovereignty, jurisdiction , equality and mutual respect of the parties.

In addition, according to him, the Republic of Azerbaijan still has vital territories, including 31 villages of Armenia. It has and everything shows it. Baku continues its strategy of deepening the enemy, which constantly creates the risk of instability in the region. Azerbaijan called the abandonment of 31 Armenian villages “non-constructive” and said: “Our position is constructive, we want the troops to withdraw from their current positions, for this the border of Armenia and the Republic of Azerbaijan should be drawn on the map and the territory, and the forces of both sides of this line leave.

Azerbaijan scholar Tatvik Ayraptian says: the appetite of the Republic of Azerbaijan is increasing day by day, Aliyev says that all problems in the region will be solved by force and war

Airapetyan noted: It is clear that the Republic of Azerbaijan wants to create new foci for the escalation of tension, but Aliyev will push the West He accuses as “supporter of Armenia” and his main target is the European observers in Armenia in the form of Council of Europe, America and France, although he does not name them.

Naira Ayromyan, a political analyst, says: Pashinyan announced at the meeting of the Armenian government that all previous agreements may be canceled. The prime minister clearly said that all Aliyev’s statements and actions will lead to a full-scale war. This war may start with local conflicts. I think this is his main message. Why he said this is another question, because it is obvious that he did not prepare the people for such a trend. This is probably part of the military blackmail that Aliyev will implement on one side and Pashinyan on the other. They want to justify certain concessions and steps that are faced by public opinion with the threat of war.

According to him, these concessions may be It should also be applied to Zangzor Corridor. In addition, the appointment of a new command for the group of joint forces of Armenia and Russia and the acceleration of the work of the Collective Security Treaty Organization in its peacekeeping department are not accidental.

On March 15, 2023, Armenian President Vahagen Khachaturyan dismissed the head of the joint military group of Armenia and Russia, Tigran Pirovanyan. This decree was signed after the Armenian authorities refused to participate in the trainings of the Collective Security Treaty Organization and the quota of leadership positions in this organization. A new commander named Artak Bodaghian was appointed on February 14, as indicated by the decree published on the website of the President of Armenia.

Ayromyan noted. : I do not rule out the peaceful surrender of the corridor under the control of Russian forces, the Collective Security Treaty Organization or other pro-Russian entities. The statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan regarding the killing of Armenian soldiers and the escalation of tension, the statements of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan that this is the monitoring area of ​​European observers and raises questions about the objectives of the mission, are not accidental.

This political commentator is sure that preparations are underway for the removal of European observers from strategic points and the presence of Russian or CSTO forces.
