"This provocation is necessary for Armenia to violate the peace agreement signed with Azerbaijan. Because after the meetings in Brussels, it became clear that Yerevan and Baku are getting closer to legally formalizing the upcoming post-conflict period. For Yerevan, the signing of the peace agreement means the complete rejection of territorial claims against Azerbaijan and the recognition of the weakened status quo."
Russian military expert and journalist Igor Korotchenko expressed these thoughts in his quote to Ednews. He noted that this benefits nobody, including the revanchists in Armenia.
"Therefore, all these provocations committed by the Armenian side, on the one hand, aim to make impossible the near prospects of signing a peace agreement based on the five principles put forward by the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev. The second goal is to delay the solution of the problems in the region by playing with the will of the US, France and the European Union. This also calls into question the launch of alternative corridors, including the Zangezur corridor and the North-South transport corridor, because Russia is exceptionally interested in the implementation of these projects."
The expert also noted that the Armenian revanchists rely on the Western countries, mainly the US and France, and create a conflict on the border.
"Revanchists in Armenia have sufficiently ained a reputation. Pashinyan does not want a peace treaty, but the situation and conditions make him go this way. Nevertheless, it can come back at any time. Also, peace in the region means the restoration of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity, the elimination of the separatist regime, and the legal and official renunciation of Armenia's territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Therefore, there are parties with both foreign and regional interests. The Armenian lobby has an independent structure and great power in the world. They want to prevent the conclusion of a peace agreement and cover up the tragedies they have committed to the people of Azerbaijan."
