Expert: Aliyev’s ‘long-cherished dream’ came true

Armenia – April 9 2022

Karen Vrtanesyan, a security expert and coordinator of the military news website Razminfo, says the dissolution of the OSCE Minsk Group dealing with the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is a “long-cherished dream come true” for Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.

"Aliyev’s long-cherished dream to destroy the institution of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs came true,” Vrtanesyan wrote on Facebook on Saturday.

“It happened for one, so to speak, objective reason (the confrontation between Russia and the West) and one subjective reason, which is Nikol [Pashinyan]. It was another chance ruined by the consistent efforts of Nikol," the expert said.

At a joint news conference with his Armenian counterpart on Friday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that the United States and France had stopped working with Russia within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group.

“I don’t know what fate awaits the Minsk Group, since our so-called French and American partners in the group, in a Russophobic frenzy, have canceled the trio of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs, saying that they will not be communicating with us in this format,” he said.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
