“Karabakh issue and Karabakh conflict settlement are different: serious changes haven’t been recorded, it’s been a few years that the Co-Chairs aren’t dealing with the Karabakh issue settlement. They attempt not to settle the conflict, but reduce violence risks.”

“The alleged Armenian unmanned aerial vehicle in the photo is just another toy of Azerbaijani children: to raise the spirit of the Azerbaijani army,” Hovhannisyan said.
“Azerbaijan may get encouraged, however, Russian policy and interests haven’t changed. Russia will pursue its traditional policy, and I don’t consider that changes will be recorded,” the analyst said.
