ArmInfo. After the well-known statement by Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on the Iskander missiles, Azerbaijan had opportunities for blackmail. Former adviser to the President of Karabakh Tigran Abrahamyan wrote about this on his Facebook page.
He noted that during his last press conference, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, using this statement of the head of the Armenian government, sent certain messages to the Russian side. One of them, according to Abrahamyan, was that, on the one hand, Aliyev praised the specified complex, and on the other hand, he expressed dissatisfaction with the military assistance provided to Armenia by Russia. The head of Azerbaijan added that Baku will soon replenish its arsenal of weapons. The main purpose of the blackmail, according to the ex-adviser, is the possibility of obtaining relatively cheap weapons from Russia and attempts to put pressure on Moscow to sell military equipment to Yerevan. "Azerbaijan will try to use this topic to obtain weapons from Russia, which it has not received so far. Unfortunately, in the end, Azerbaijan has cards for blackmail, which is facilitated not only by the realities created as a result of the war, but also by the dangerous behavior of the Armenian authorities. in the post-war period, "the former adviser emphasized.
