ArmInfo. Prime Minister Pashinyan's dissatisfaction with Azerbaijan and Russia, expressed at the last government meeting in connection with the latest military  provocations of Baku in Artsakh, I assess as meaningless. Political  scientist Armen Baghdasaryan expressed a similar opinion to ArmInfo.

" Avoiding concreteness, from disclosing the essence and causes of  what happened, which by the way led to the death of people, the prime  minister once again limited himself to blaming Baku and Moscow for  what was happening. Pashinyan limits himself to accusations of  non-fulfillment of obligations against Baku and Moscow, which, in my  opinion, is the final fact of the surrender of Artsakh by Yerevan.   And in the event of a further increase in tension, the Armenian  leadership, apparently, decided to limit its own functions in the  Artsakh issue to the possibility of applying to international  instances," he stressed.

Commenting on Pashinyan's proposal to provide Azerbaijan with  communication routes with Nakhichevan through the territory of  Armenia, the political scientist said that Baku is not at all  interested in communication routes. Azerbaijan needs an  extraterritorial corridor. Accordingly, the era of peace declared by  Pashinyan is not needed. Or it is needed, but on condition that the  peace will be accompanied by the "Zangezur corridor" withdrawn from  Armenia.According to him, the latest Azerbaijani attacks on Artsakh  were due precisely to Baku's desire to demonstrate to Yerevan that in  case of refusal to provide the "Zangezur corridor", Azerbaijan would  cover the corridor through Lachin. After that, it will complete the  process of de-Armenization of Artsakh, that is, it will achieve its  final goals, while Armenia will continue to remain in a state of  blockade.

"The leadership of Armenia made many promises to Azerbaijan, which it  consistently fulfills. But Azerbaijan is rushing this process, seeing  Armenia's desire to delay this process as much as possible. This is  the whole essence of what is happening. Yerevan has never voiced a  refusal to fulfill the promises made to Baku, Including the five  Azerbaijani points of the peace agreement," Baghdasaryan summed up.
