Azerbaijan's attempts to intensify the situation to the current
serious problems facing the country. During a February 7 press
conference, he noted that recently Azerbaijan has been making more
attempts to destabilize the situation on the border and that this is
linked to the country's domestic political issues. "There are many
things that might not appear on the outside, but they are serious
matters of concern for the Azerbaijani authorities. First, the fall of
oil prices has had a great impact on Azerbaijan's economy, and this
can be seen in the speech by the President of Azerbaijan in which he
mentioned that Azerbaijan needs to reduce expenditures and tighten its
belt. Recently there have also been many extreme Islamists who now
have an ideological basis. The extremists have a strong network in
Azerbaijan, and that helps them engage new people. This is definitely
a matter of concern for the Azerbaijani authorities since those
extremists can join ISIS," the Azerologist mentioned, according to
"Armenpress".
According to him, the representatives of ethnic minorities,
particularly the Talishs and the Tats have become active in
Azerbaijan. "I believe Azerbaijan's attempts to create tension on the
Armenian-Azerbaijani border and at the Karabakh-Azerbaijan Line of
Contact, the shootings and the diversions are aimed at uniting the
Azerbaijani society around at least one idea and distracting the
people's attention from the situation that has been created. With such
actions, Azerbaijan is also trying to test the Armenian army's
potential," the Azerologist underscored.
