Armenia main goal of Turkiye and Azerbaijan - expert 

ArmInfo.  The tension in Russian-Azerbaijani and Iranian- Azerbaijani relations, which is not new and which has been actively manifesting itself again in recent days, can be interpreted by the following simple formula: the  redrawing of physical borders and zones of influence in the South  Caucasus, which began after the war in Artsakh in 2020, has not yet  been completed.  Turkologist Varuzhan Geghamyan writes about this in  his article. 

According to him, at the moment there is no clear balance of power  that would ensure a long-term status quo, as it was in 1994 after the  victory of the Armenian armies. "For this reason, all parties are  "playing" to preserve their share, and if possible, to increase it.  At the moment, the most active player is Turkey, which operates  through Azerbaijan. I will not go into the arrests in Russia and  Azerbaijan, or other details. By and large, they are meaningless.  However, in this situation, there is good, bad and very bad news,"  the political scientist noted.

He attributed the limited capabilities of Turkey, and therefore  Azerbaijan, to the good news, given numerous circumstances - from the  domestic political and economic crisis to the limited tools for  confronting Iran and Russia, which opens up a large field for Armenia  to play.

The bad news is that Turkey's capabilities are still sufficient to  dictate its game in the region, strengthen its position, and expand  its sphere of influence. Its main goal is Armenia, and its main tool  is the "Zangezur Corridor" political program.

"The construction of the infrastructure part of this program is  currently in full swing. Political negotiations are underway in  parallel.

Pashinyan's recent visit to Istanbul and the Turan issue are only  part of this. The worst thing is that our country is still ruled by a  capitulator who sees no problem in the spread of Turkish influence on  us, which for us means not just dependence on Turkey, but a complete  collapse of sovereignty, the destruction of Armenian defense systems  and, ultimately, a repeat of the fate of Artsakh. And the saddest  thing is that in this situation, a national, capable government would  have already achieved many successes, our country would have  strengthened its position thanks to proper work. These opportunities  still exist," the political scientist emphasized.
