Armenia expects not a ‘velvet revolution’ but civil stand-off during
the parliamentary elections in Azerbaijan in November, said director
of the Political Innovation and Technology Center, political analyst
Mubariz Ahmadoghlu. He told a press conference on Thursday, referring
to a statement by a well-known Armenian analyst Andranik Migranian,
that this confrontation will divert Azerbaijan’s attention from the
Upper Garabagh conflict, which is favored by Armenians. This is due
to the positive tendencies for Azerbaijan observed in the conflict
resolution over the past month.

“This is a key reason for official Yerevan’s concerns”, said
Ahmadoghlu.”*
