Baku / 19.12.18 / Turan: In the past two days, the Armenian public has been busy "solving a riddle" called "What did Azerbaijan plan?".
Experts, politicians and the military are trying to figure out why Azerbaijan is withdrawing troops from the border with Armenia, and what did Mamedyarov mean when he spoke about an agreement with Mnatsakanyan?
The general opinion in the Armenian society is as follows: Baku has conceived something very bad, and wants to distract out attention. Similar statements make different people, but political scientist Ruben Megrabian concentrated. Thus, at a press conference in Yerevan on Wednesady he said that "unprecedented actions of Baku will be further used in the negotiations."
According to him, today it is possible to fix three major changes, which, on the one hand, are beneficial for Baku under current conditions, on the other - then they will be used as loose change.
According to News.am, he said: "The unprecedented calm on the Armenian-Azerbaijani and Karabakh-Azerbaijani borders, the establishment of a direct connection between the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as the redeployment of border troops in some parts of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border will be used by Baku to create a peaceful image if the side to the negotiations. Yesterday"s statement by the Azerbaijani Foreign Minister on mutual understanding reached with Mnatsakanyan is also included in this logic. "
Mehrabian stressed that the reaction of the Armenian authorities on this issue is adequate, since there are no real guarantees of security, it is impossible to talk about significant changes. "It is necessary to understand that other options besides the independence of Karabakh will lead to the genocide of the local population. Therefore, until the status issue is not resolved yet, no territorial issue can be relevant," the expert added. -02D-
