The crisis in Ukraine is an object lesson for Azerbaijan, Head of
the Alte et Certe Analytical Agency Andrey Yepifantsev told ArmInfo
on Monday.
“Kyiv’s years long policy to cultivate Rusophobia among Ukrainians has
resulted in complete dehumanization of ‘dissidents’ in the southeast.
The Kyiv authorities have convinced their people that war is the only
solution to the problems of the southeast. This brainwashing policy
has formed an aggressive Maidan stratum who believe that ‘Donbas
must be either their or nobody’s!’ but it also has made its authors
hostages to those people. Today President Poroshenko would be happy
to make at least some concession but he is afraid of being smitten
by thousands of aggressive zealots standing behind,” Yepifantsev said.
He said that the Azeri authorities have followed a similar policy
concerning Nagorno-Karabakh and the Armenians for years and are facing
a similar atmosphere. “So, very soon President Aliyev will have no
more room for concessions and will have to lead his country to one
more war that will end in one more loss,” Yepifantsev said.
