Azerbaijan looking forward to launching large-scale military actions  against Armenia - expert 

ArmInfo. Azerbaijan is only looking forward to launching large-scale military actions against  Armenia, political scientist Andrias Ghukasyan told ArmInfo as he commented on the February 13 clash near Nerqin Hand. 

Azerbaijan not only does not deny the fact of aggression, but also  cynically stated that they carried out a retaliation operation in  response to a "provocation" by the Armenian military. At the same  time, they added that as a result of these actions, the Armenian  combat post was destroyed. It is noteworthy that all this is  happening in the territories of Armenia, which were previously  captured by the enemy side against the background of the  international community's tacit encouragement of Azerbaijani  aggression.

As the political scientist noted, it is obvious that Azerbaijan is  preparing for a new attack on Armenia; it does not need a peace  treaty. According to the expert, this kind of provocation will  continue in the future.  This year there will be elections in Europe  and the United States, and all the attention of the world community  will be focused on them. Azerbaijan will try to use this moment for  its own purposes to launch a full-scale war. "Even if Armenian Prime  Minister Nikol Pashinyan changes his last name to Pasha-oglu, this  will not change the situation," Ghukasyan said, adding that  Azerbaijan is only waiting for the moment.  At the same time, Baku is  putting forward more and more new conditions to Yerevan for  concluding a so- called "peace" treaty. One of these conditions is  the requirement to change the Constitution of Armenia.  Ghukasyan  also pointed out the intentions of the Armenian authorities to change  national symbols.

All these actions are accompanied by attacks on the Armenian  Apostolic Church and severance of ties with the Diaspora. Prior to  this, the current Prime Minister of Armenia lowered the status of  Nagorno-Karabakh, and also recognized Artsakh as part of the  territory of Azerbaijan, which were the first steps towards the  denationalization of the Armenian state," Ghukasyan said, adding that  all these steps on the part of Yerevan are part of Ankara's policy ,  Baku and Moscow. Turkey, according to him, is developing programs  directed against Armenia, Azerbaijan is implementing them, and Russia  is recording them. 

"At the same time, the need to adhere to the peace agenda is  constantly mentioned, but, as we see, nothing like this is happening,  there is no need to talk about any peace. Moreover, this agenda has  already led to catastrophic consequences. In order to divert public  attention from these consequences, active propaganda is being  conducted, a hybrid war is underway, which leads to the polarization  of society and the weakening of the army," the political scientist  emphasized, adding that against this background, Baku is actively  preparing for a new aggression against Armenia.
