“We witness what happens in Europe and all over the world. Azerbaijan’s actions are another form of terrorism. What Azerbaijan does along the border, and how it glorifies murderers are also a demonstration of terrorism. If Paris or Brussels attackers were glorified, would the international community be content with it? Of course, not. Then why do they keep silent when scums like Safarov are glorified by the Azerbaijani leadership or take identical measures”, Davit Babayan said.

According to Tarasov, Azerbaijan understands that all these “smell of kerosene,” the situation radically changes against Azerbaijan, Turkey is rolling into abyss so profoundly that Azerbaijan appeared amid Russia, Iran and sinking Turkey.
Russia continues to get isolated from the civilized world: condemning verdict towards Nadejda Savchenko more deepens the process. Azerbaijan is among those few countries, which may still extend its ties with Russia, not being afraid of further discrediting.

In my opinion, Armenia’s condition is bothering, there is no direct threat from the Islamic State, however, there is bigger threat, as, in the end, Turkey is a country neighboring to Armenia, and the latter is in problematic ties with Turkey. And if Turkey enters a rather unsafe era, it may contain big threats for Armenia.
Only Armenia is interested in termination of escalation, as for Azerbaijan, it’s a means of attaching the attention of international community and directing the issue on its preferred way. Frozen conflict is beneficiary for other parties, issue of settlement may be passed on to next generations, OSCE will imitate some development, however, in fact, nothing will change. I consider, especially when manat was collapsed together with oil prices, although they’ve gone up a bit now, however, in general, they are low, and Azerbaijan faces serious economic problems, and from domestic policy perspective foreign policy success is more crucial for Aliyev, i.e. positive dynamics in conflict settlement should be shown to Aliyev more than ever. And instead of bread, he should offer sights.
“I repeat once again that the claim by the opposition to publish election lists is only a pretext. If we repeatedly say what mechanism are offered by us, what’s the problem in this regard?

They consider, we may agree, and after elections they’ll say that authorities have taken an anti-Constitutional step. By that they intend to cast doubt upon stability of the Constitutional court,” V.Baghdasaryan said.
