The Armenian side, which could not abide the laws imposed by the border checkpoint established in the Lachin district of Azerbaijan since April, finally ruptured today like a painful carbuncle. Starting in the morning, the Armenian terrorist groups, which started firing on the territory of Azerbaijan and the state border checkpoint, proved once again that they are determined to destabilize the region with the next provocation. As a result, Armenia, which lost two terrorist snipers by injuring one military serviceman of Azerbaijan, found itself in a more difficult situation.

Official Yerevan, which sometimes relies on the European Union mission group and sometimes runs to Russia and begs for help, has simply forgotten the main issue – the Turkic World and the Shusha Declaration, which can constantly bring it into active force.

Speaking to Azernews, Turkish military expert Yucel Karauz named several reasons for the endless Armenian provocations.

"There are 3-4 main reasons for the terrorist activity of Armenians. The first is the visit of Turkish President Recep Tayyib Erdogan to Baku and the very strong messages delivered during this visit. Secondly, to prevent the implementation of the Zangazur corridor after that. The third day is the anniversary of the Shusha Declaration. This declaration is an agreement that will be promoted and concluded not only by Azerbaijan-Turkiye, but by the entire Turkic world. So, there is a high probability that this is connected with the Shusha declaration and its anniversary."

The military expert named one more reason for another statement by the Turkish President in which he mentioned Iran as the only country that is against opening of the Zangazur corridor. For two hundred years either Iran, France, Brussels, or Washington have been using Armenia as a tool in the region. Armenia is not a state that makes decisions on its own. Instead of thinking about the interests of their nation and state, they are in the position of someone else's pawn. So, one should not expect any reasonable and competent behavior from Armenia.

Despite all these Armenian provocations, the European Union is monitoring there and at the same time turns a blind eye to the construction of a metallurgical plant that is first a real threat to the ecology.

"It is wrong to expect justice and law from the West. The double standards, hypocrisy, and false behavior of the West and third countries are only their own laws in matters of democracy, human rights, the rule of law, and the law of force or the law of interest. The activities of the observer on the construction of factories on this land and the establishment of such borders are not within Armenia's own inititive. Armenia is already accustomed to such attention. If they let the Armenians alone, they will be lost in the middle of nowehere."

Speaking about our demands and rights, the military expert noted that Azerbaijan demonstrated all this in accordance with international law in the Patriotic War, in the Shusha Declaration, in the organization of Turkic states, along with the Istanbul Summit. He underscored that if Armenia felt the iron fist over its head during the Second Karabakh War, it felt it again when the Shusha Declaration was signed. "In my opinion, the Armenian side felt the seventh iron fist when the organization of Turkic states was created. I think those behind Armenia should be kept accountable not onlt to Azerbaijan and Turkiye in accordance with the Shusha Declaration, but to our brothers and like-minded members in the organization of the Turkic states," the expert concluded
