Armenia can get involved in the war against Iran only if Azerbaijan gets involved. if Azerbaijan got involved in military operations against Iran, Armenia cannot avoid that conflict. Expressed this opinion 168TVof Revue on the air of the program Hayk Nahapetyan, colonel of the RA Armed Forces Reserve, expert on military and security issuesanalyzing the course of Israel-US-Iran war operations and the dangers for Armenia.

“Armenia is not a subject. Nobody asks our opinion. Unfortunately, it is. The danger is that our territory will become a theater of military operations. If, however, the geography of this war increases, and Azerbaijan is theoretically involved in that geography, Armenia will certainly appear in that geography as well. Do not doubt. Only in that case, otherwise, bombs will not fall here, as they say. If Azerbaijan got involved in that conflict in one way or another, Armenia cannot avoid that conflict,” commented Hayk Nahapetyan.

And the colonel sees a real possibility and prospect of Azerbaijan joining the military operations of the Israeli-American coalition against Iran, taking into account Aliyev’s long-term plans and close relations with Israel.

The military expert is convinced that the March 5 incident with anti-aircraft strikes in Nakhichevan was an Azeri provocation, organized by Aliyev in order to create an occasion for war against Iran, but then the Baku dictator “dropped the bullet”, as the Central Headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces officially spoke on March 7 about the Israeli presence in the territories under the control of Azerbaijan, calling on neighboring Azerbaijan, as a Muslim country, to withdraw the Zionist forces from its territory. and not to endanger their own people and the security of Iran.

“I think he was warned, and Aliyev’s ears were stretched by Erdogan on the phone, saying, ‘Keep calm, this is not your fight.’ I suppose. There are two impulses on Aliyev: the statement of the Iranian headquarters and Erdogan, who is a more heavyweight player,” the military expert believes.

According to Hayk Nahapetyan, “if necessary, Mehriban and Ilham have a tea party in the bunker in the evening, an Iranian drone will come, enter the room through the window, land at Ilham’s feet and explode at his feet.”

The expert believes that Iran will attack the Israeli facilities located in the occupied Artsakh territory or in Nakhichevan, if it feels a physical threat from that side, and if the air force and missiles work from that direction.

In this context, the military expert emphasizes that the change in the status of Nakhijevan by the central authorities of Azerbaijan, from the preamble to the constitution of the Autonomous Republic of Nakhijevan in 1921. The removal of references to the Moscow and Kars treaties is also related to these events.

“Azerbaijan is trying to annex that territory, which it does not have the right to, because according to the agreement, two states (Russia and Turkey) guarantee any change in the status of Nakhichevan. Now Ilham’s ambition, as they say, reaches the stars, he says: “I want to do it.” It violates the order of the law, it violates the contract. Tomorrow, Russia or Turkey will stretch their ears and say. “What have you done?” Who left it to you to make a unilateral decision to change the status of that autonomy?” When the United States leaves here, then the leaders of Iran and Russia will call Aliyev and say: “Boy, why were you making decisions on your own, changing your status?” By what law is that, “with panyatk”? Well, now we will cut off your old man’s ear with a panyatk, and there are still some things left to do.

And in general, the military expert considers the worst scenario of the Iranian-Israeli-American war, which has been going on for almost two weeks now, to turn into a nuclear or atomic war.

“The calculation of the United States, which is a military superpower, was illogical, according to which if the elite of Iran is beheaded on the first day, then Iran surrenders. Don’t you think it’s illogical? In fact, Iran did not surrender, and the United States and Israel found themselves in a difficult situation. Now it either turns out that the “second coming of the savior” or “Armageddon” was a bluff, if they are convinced, they take a step back, if they are not convinced, then they will go to the end, and the end is nuclear war, that is, the use of nuclear weapons.

If Israel fires, in principle the State of Israel may no longer exist because Iran has hypersonic missiles that can hit Israel’s two power plants, two large chemical plants, a nuclear reactor in the desert, and nuclear storage facilities that Iran can also hit.

If the United States launched a nuclear strike, I don’t know how long Iran’s arms are. If America hits, I don’t know what will happen to the planet Earth. Of course, it is unlikely that the United States will take this extreme step, but I do not rule out Israel’s option.”

According to Nahapetyan, the United States and Israel actually lost the war, and now a “resource war” is going on.

“This fight will stop. It’s an illogical fight,” adds the military expert.
