Expert: Everyone is unhappy with the results of the 44-day war

ArmInfo.Apparently, everyone was unhappy with the results of the 44-day war. Iranianist Vardan Voskanyan expressed this opinion to ArmInfo.

"Despite the euphoria reigning in Baku, it is obvious that not having  acquired all of Artsakh, Aliyev was not satisfied. Turkey has  definitely not achieved its goals. Given the emergence of new risks  and challenges for itself, Iran is unhappy. And I don't think Russia  is so happy. For Moscow, it was much preferable to deploy  peacekeepers around the entire perimeter of the former NKAO, which  would significantly increase the power of Russian leverage in Baku,  "he said.

Taking into account the unresolved issue of the most important issue  - the issue of the status of Artsakh, Voskanyan predicts  Turkish-Azerbaijani provocations against the Russian peacekeepers in  the coming years. The latter may create an opportunity for Armenia to  improve its own positions weakened by the 44- day war.

The Iranian noted the changes in the perception of the Artsakh  problem in the eyes of Tehran as a very important circumstance. He  noted that earlier the Iranians did not attach serious importance to  this, considering the Artsakh conflict solely as one of the conflicts  along the perimeter of their own borders.  Nevertheless, in the  current situation it has already become clear that the Artsakh  problem and the consequences emanating from it may have a very  important character for Iran.

According to Voskanyan's estimates, with the arrival of this  awareness in Tehran, it is necessary to expect more Iranian  attention, in particular, to cooperation in the Artsakh issue with  Russia. Noting with regret the fact of a noticeable loss of  subjectivity and role of Armenia in the new geopolitical situation,  he assumed that the possibilities of involving Armenia as an  important platform for the alliance between Russia and Iran have not  been lost. In parallel, according to his estimates, it is necessary  to work towards the creation of the Tehran-Yerevan-Moscow axis with  the ultimate goal of curbing Turkish ambitions and inclinations in  the region.

"The presence of numerous problems in Russian-Turkish relations is  obvious today. It is also obvious that today Moscow does not want to  go into a direct confrontation with Ankara, preferring to limit  itself to actions that can ensure Russian interests in the region.  Nevertheless, given the desire of Erdogan's Turkey to realize its own  interests, the situation may change, since the interests of Turkey  obviously clash with the interests of Russia and Iran, "the Iranian  scholar concluded.
