"It is obvious that the decision to transfer him to Azerbaijan and to
pardon has been made with the mutual consent of Turkey and Hungary, but
I don't rule out that other states were aware of the affair not taking
part in it directly," Armen Minasyan, a political scientist said.
According to the latter, bargaining is not novel in international
relations, "It has always been an applicable tool, in this case,
the affair is just related to our interests, therefore, we make
emotional responses. One should collect more resources focusing on
the solution of problems. There is a possibility to benefit from the
situation, particularly to get certain advantages in the relations
with the European Union. And the issue of ever returning Karabakh to
Azerbaijan should be taken off the agenda of the Karabakh issue."
According to the political scientist, the relations with NATO should
not be revised, but be complied with the situation, "NATO has an
obvious problem, since the incident took place in the framework
of its program. Besides Hungary, NATO was also responsible for
effectively carrying out the program and ensuring the security of the
participants. Most probably, NATO should draw conclusions applying
them to the relations with its partners." Talking about the response
of the Minsk Group, our interlocutor said, "Concern about the tensions
in the region can be read between the lines of the statement. The
message was that the issue doesn't have a military solution. It
is important that Azerbaijan realizes that, whereas Azerbaijan has
ruined the whole work done by the Minsk Group in recent years at one
blow impeding the efforts to establish peace. Regardless of what has
happened, the level of probability that the war will resume is high."
Talking about the response of Moscow regarding what has happened,
Armen Martirosyan quoted the "alibi" of the latter that the reason
for a late response was the weekend, "One can assume that Moscow was
actually waiting for its partners' response, since their opinion at
least on the Karabakh issue is the same."
The political scientist is convinced that making a hero of Safarov
cannot have an impact on the Azerbaijani army, "Rational people
prevail in Azerbaijan. They don't say it publicly, but they realize
that one must not make a hero of a moron. And the military capacity
of the Azerbaijani army is actually based on the sum of other factors
and not on Safarovs."
