The Azerbaijanis are building a defensive wall across the Contact
Line with Nagorno-Karabakh in order to label Armenians as aggressors,
political analyst Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan has said.
"[The construction of] that wall has only one purpose ~V to
characterize Armenia as a country that shoots at civilians and hence
is an aggressor," the expert told a news conference.
In an interview with the Armenian TV channel Shant, Aram Abrahamyan,
the editor-in-chief of Aravot newspaper, characterized the
Azerbaijanis' efforts as a sheer propaganda, expressing strong doubts
that it could solve any problem in terms of removing the snipers from
the Contact Line.
He said that the Minsk Group co-chairs' proposal on stationing the
snipers a short distance from the border would be a more effective
method.
"The Armenian side has accepted the proposal, but the Azerbaijani
Defense Ministry has said it will it will not solve the problem and
demanded that the Armenians leave their lands," he said, adding that
Azerbaijan is interested in maintaining the tension on the Line.
Abrahamyan considered the construction of the wall "neither good
nor bad".
"It just makes no sense," he said, referring to Israel's attempts to
build walls on the border with Egypt, without solving any security
problem.
