The wall that Azerbaijan is reportedly building on the line of contact
with Karabakh is for propaganda purposes, Armenian political analyst
Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan has said.
Speaking at a press conference on Friday, he said with that move
Azerbaijan is attempting to send a message to the world that the wall
is meant to protect its civilians from barbers.
"It is highly probable that they will build the wall and attempt to
draw parallels with the Chinese Wall," said Melik-Shahnazaryan.
"What is the reason that in civilized world one state builds a wall?
Azerbaijan wants to demonstrate to the world that it is protecting
itself from barbarians, that Armenia is aggressor, a state that opens
fire at its civilians," explained he.
It comes after media reports that the Azerbaijani authorities are
building a 3-meter-high defensive wall across the line of contact.
Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan further said that should Armenia not take
relevant preemptive steps at the media level, Azerbaijan may succeed
in presenting Armenia as an aggressor in front of the international
community.
"We can call that wall a propaganda wall," said he, adding that
the Armenian side should actively be involved in international
organizations in an attempt to inform it about what is happening on
the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
