13:41, 31.03.2015
YEREVAN. - Azerbaijan is attempting to use the current situation on
the line of contact as "leverage" to pressure the Armenian sides and
the international community.
Caucasus Institute Deputy Director, political analyst Sergey Minasyan,
stated the abovementioned at a press conference on Tuesday. He noted
this while reflecting on Baku's recent escalation of the situation
on the line of contact of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
In his words, the currently unfolding processes are long-term in
nature, and Azerbaijan continues this policy ever since 2011, and in
an attempt to exploit the resource of the resumption of the Karabakh
War in the negotiation process.
"But these threats can't force the Armenian sides to make concessions.
The recent incidents don't mean that active military operations will
begin tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow," Minasyan noted, and added:
"At this point, the escalation of the situation should rather be
viewed as a political, not a military phenomenon."
