The leader of "Musavat" Isa Gambar called on the international community to exert maximum influence on Moscow to keep it from rock steps.

Political analyst Zafar Guliyev noted that Russia has lost Ukraine, regardless of what it will take on.
He explained the current rough steps of Moscow by the fact that the Kremlin lost his nerve.
As for the impact of these events on Azerbaijan, in our country there is no such a strong civil society. The fate of the country depends not on people, but on the will of one man; and the Azerbaijani government does not enjoy real support from the West.
However, stubborn unwillingness of Baku to start dialogue with civil society and political opponents pushes the country to the opposition and contributes to social tensions.
Panelists noted that the ruling regimes of Azerbaijan and Russia are united not only by authoritarianism , but also by corruption. Just these economic interests contribute to the fact that Baku is inclined to Russia, and not to the West. -05C-
