Azerbaijan Failed to Reach its Purpose

“Another attempt is made to boost conflict settlement process, following hot traces of the developments, thus by that replying to the question: is it possible to record a positive result through a means like resumption of military operations? In my opinion, it’s less probable, and the fact that today Azerbaijan states at meetings, that it’s loyal to the settlement process, speaks of the fact that by its strategy, if it may be called one, didn’t reach its purpose.

Resumption of military operations didn’t provide dividends to Azerbaijan but the benefit, that it succeed to use it inside the country and divert public attention from other existent issues,” Konstantin Zatulin,member of the Public Chamber of Russia, director of Institute of the CIS Countries (ICC), said touching upon NK conflict settlement process.

In his conviction they hope in Azerbaijan that together with “heated moods in Armenia, which will require revenge, will be based on feelings,” which, in his conviction will be a stupidity. “It’s difficult for me to make a final anticipation on what this settlement stage will give, as I don’t see that approaches of the side have become closer,” Zatulin said.
