Azerbaijan is making a show of its presidential elections. Many
candidates are registered for the elections with the aim of showing the
world that there is freedom of expression and alternative elections
are being held in the country, Azeri studies expert Sargis Asatryan
told a press conference in Yerevan.
According to the expert, most of the presidential candidates have no
sufficient resources and opportunities to rival Ilham Aliyev.
"Ilham Aliyev tries to divert the public attention to minor problems in
order to benefit from the situation. He clears his way for reelection
to presidential office," the Azeri studies expert said.
"In all probability, Aliyev will be reelected as President. His
military rhetoric is predictable for Armenia, besides, he is unlikely
to go for an adventure," Mr Asatryan said when asked which of the
Azeri presidential candidates is beneficial to Armenia.
