Ilham Aliyev's bellicose statements target domestic audience, Mir
Ghasem Moumeni, head of the New Perspectives analytical center,
told Iran's Fars news agency in an interview.
Commenting on the Azerbaijani President's constant bellicose statements
addressed to Nagorno-Karabakh, the Iranian expert said, "Over the past
years, Azerbaijan has repeatedly threatened war against Armenia. But
its threat was never carried out. The war threat rather has political
and propaganda nature, and targets the domestic audience."
Speaking on Karabakh talks within the OSCE Minsk Group format, Mir
Ghasem Moumeni said, "Karabakh conflict is extra-regional. Armenia and
Azerbaijan cannot solve that problem on their own. The United States,
Russia and Europe have their own interests in the region."
Regarding strained relations between Iran and Azerbaijan, the Iranian
expert noted, "Azerbaijan's assistance to Iran's Panturkist separatist
groups causes tension in relationship between Iran and Azerbaijan."
