Yerevan /Mediamax/. Director of Center for Regional Studies Richard
Giragosyan said today that taking into account Russia's policy in
Ukraine, "there is a threat that Moscow's traditional stance on NK
issue may change".
"Gyumri tragedy gave rise to new issues on asymmetry of Armenia-Russia
relations", Richard Giragosyan said.
Commenting on the tension on the contact line and Armenia-Azerbaijan
state border, the expert called attention to the fact that the
geographic coverage of Azerbaijani attacks expanded.
"Unfortunately, if formerly we considered the shots as an indicator of
ceasefire violation, now it's the number of casualties", said Richard
Giragosyan adding that there is currently a real threat of random war.
Azerbaijani expert and journalist Shahin Rzayev who took part in the
press conference on a video call, noted that "the number of casualties
has really increased but unlike Armenia, Azerbaijan thinks that the
war hasn't ended yet and the soldiers are dying on the battlefield".
According to Shahin Rzayev, growth of radicalism is observed in
Azerbaijan, especially among the younger generation which doesn't
have experience communicating with Armenians. He recalled that the
First European Games will take place in Baku this year which will be
a good chance for Armenian sportsmen to visit Azerbaijan.
