Azerbaijan will not launch active actions at the border, it pursues
a different objectives, political scientist Levon Shirinyan told a
press conference today.
“There is a single and clear purpose behind the recent escalation of
tension at the border. Azerbaijan is aware it won’t be able to take a
single inch of land, taking into consideration the military-political
and strategic alliances Armenia adheres to and the condition of the
Armenian army. The recent incident at Nakhijevan border is a vivid
example of this,” Shirinyan said.
According to him, the task of the snipers is to increase the
tension at the frontline to make people leave. “This is the meaning
of Azerbaijan’s policy at the border. It’s easy to speak with
preconditions with a country weakened by migration,” he said.
The political scientist suggests that official Yerevan address two
important issues: solve the issue of withdrawal of snipers from the
frontline and prevent the migration and organize repatriation.
