“Armenia perceives signing an agreement and regulating relations as a “medicine” for the challenges coming from Azerbaijan. For Azerbaijan, the contract is not a goal, but a tool, for Armenia, the conclusion of the contract is a goal. Azerbaijan does not see any threat from the Armenian side, therefore, Azerbaijan as such does not need peace or a treaty. By 2020, 2016 was the exact opposite. Armenia was ready to prolong the situation endlessly, to preserve the status quo. Now Azerbaijan uses and will use the negotiations, the possible agreement, as a tool to weaken Armenia.
As long as the situation is like this, as long as the West and Russia need Azerbaijan more than Armenia, Azerbaijan will try to get out of the situation with the greatest profit. The negotiations are only to put pressure on Armenia for a possible peace,” said political scientist Alexander Iskandaryan, director of the Caucasus Institute, in an interview with Channel 5.
“The problem is that Azerbaijan does not have a red line, it will not be satisfied with any concessions from Armenia, moreover, it keeps increasing its demands.
If, instead of resistance, Armenia agrees to the agenda and narratives put forward by Azerbaijan, then naturally, the pressure will continue,” he said.
