AZERBAIJAN HAS OWN METHODS OF EXPRESSING DISAGREEMENT TO WEST - ARMENIAN ANALYST
October 24, 2013 | 01:24
YEREVAN. - The tension of the situation on the Armenia-Azerbaijan
border is due to several reasons, military analyst Arkadi Grigoryan
told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
First, as per Grigoryan, the Azerbaijani authorities are attempting
to distract their public's attention from the fraud during, and the
related criticisms concerning, the recent presidential elections in
that country.
The second reason may be related to the changing of Azerbaijan's
defense minister. In other words, the current tension is unique
evidence that the new minister is "within the topic."
And the third reason, according to the military analyst, is linked
to the OSCE Minsk Group US co-chair's recent visit to Azerbaijan.
"[The border tension] can be viewed as a reminder to the West that
the Nagorno-Karabakh issue is not that simple, and [official] Baku
may be demonstrating that it does not agree to some proposals. The
Azerbaijanis have their own methods of expressing their disagreement,"
Arkadi Grigoryan stressed.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, Azerbaijan opened fire,
on Tuesday at around 1pm-2pm, on the vehicles traveling along the
Berd-Ijevan motorway in Armenia's Tavush Region. Those in civilian
and military vehicles, alike, suffered from the shots. As a result
of the shots fired upon a military motorcade, conscript, Private
Garik Poghosyan (born in 1994) died, informed the Armenian MOD press
service. In addition, conscripts, Privates Artur Andranikyan (born
in 1994), Arayik Zhamharyan (born in 1994), and Martin Petrosyan
(born in 1994) sustained varying degrees of gunshot wounds. The
office of Andrzej Kasprzyk, Personal Representative of the OSCE
Chairman-in-Office, was informed of this incident.
