There is information that Azerbaijan supplies not only fuel but also weapons to Ukraine, and I do not think Russia has not noticed that, Armenian political analyst Argishti Kiviryan stated during a discussion Friday.
According to him, Azerbaijan is strengthening its military potential, while the enemy in this case is not only—and, perhaps, not so much—Armenia.
According to the analyst, today when incompetent authorities are at the helm of Armenia, the Armenians of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) must to some extent solve their problems on their own, as well as with the help of Armenians—including those linked to the Kremlin.
"Artsakh must build vertical relations with Russia, deepen those relations, coordinate its steps with Moscow, provide assistance to the solution of geopolitical issues—taking into account as well Baku's anti-Russian position on the Ukrainian events. In order to avoid a catastrophe, there is a need to gain time at all costs," Kiviryan added.
He noted that the protection of the Armenians of Artsakh is currently carried out by the Russian peacekeepers, and their presence there holds Azerbaijan back from launching a large-scale attack.
"If Russia faces problems in Ukraine, I am sure that Azerbaijan will again attempt to get ‘active’ in several directions—as in the case of Parukh [village of Artsakh]," the political analyst concluded.
