YEREVAN. - Azerbaijan has been attempting to display itself as a
defender of interests of the West in the region, Armenian expert David
Jamalyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am commenting on the report in the
foreign outlets that Syrian rebels get weapon supply from Azerbaijan
as well.
According to the expert, the fact, which testifies for Azerbaijani
aspirations to run favorable policy for the West is due to deteriorated
relations with Iran and the high rental price for the Gabala military
radar station for Russia.
"These attempts are linked to the legitimization of the clan of the
Aliyevs. In this context, assistance to the Syrian rebels is not
ruled out in order to be liked by the West and show its pro-western
attitude. Taking into account the close relations between Azerbaijan
and Israel, it is quite logical," he said adding earlier the Aliyevs
purchased their legitimacy through energy supplies, however, as
natural resources run out, an alternative way is necessary to show its
'sympathy' to the West.
