Political analyst says Russia provokes conflict

AzerNews, Azerbaijan

Political scholar Vafa Guluzada was quoted as saying on Monday that
Armenia is not interested in occupying Azerbaijan’s territories,
but Russia is. If Russia was not on the scene, Azerbaijan and Armenia
would be able to settle the conflict.

Guluzada said the Armenians living in Upper Garabagh do not support
Armenia’s occupation of Azerbaijani land and it will be possible to
resolve the conflict only if the disintegration of the Russian empire
accelerates. Guluzada said Armenians have openly admitted they have
no claims on Azerbaijani land.

He added that Russia is responsible for the rising tensions in
Armenian-Turkish relations and bringing up the issue of the ‘false
massacre’.
