“Russia does not want peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan”.
elchi reports, citing Teleqraf, that this was stated by Armenian political analyst David Stepanyan.
“They have sold everything, including our sovereignty; they are constantly in need of war,” he said.
In Stepanyan’s opinion, the noise in the pro-Russian political camp in Armenia shows that Yerevan is on the right path: “They have entered their final battle. We cannot sit around and dream about Karabakh forever. The more we dream, the more we will lose.”
The Armenian expert added that if Pashinyan had not come to power in 2018, Armenia would not exist at all today.
Does Russia really want a new war in Karabakh? Could the rise of Karapetyan and other pro-Russian forces to power lead to the mobilization of the Armenian army? With what strength would the Armenian army fight us?
Niyaməddin Orduxanlı: “Our party is conducting the election preparation phase at a high level”
Secretary General of the AHD party, political analyst Niyaməddin Orduxanlı, clarified very important points in this direction in a statement to Musavat.com: “I think that we should also talk and discuss with Russia to achieve a peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Because everyone knows very well that Armenia is a Russian outpost in the region, and it was Russia that created Armenia in the Caucasus in its time. Today, Russia’s influence on Armenia is very great. Russia provides Armenia’s energy, oil, gas, gasoline, food, grain, and other supplies.
Russia provides all these supplies to Armenia at such a price as if it were giving them to its own province or citizen. We should also discuss the issue of peace with Russia so that there is a guarantee of peace and it is long-term. Of course, we also wish for the participation of brotherly Turkey in this matter – to achieve a more reliable peace. One of the successes of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in liberating Karabakh from occupation in 2020 was precisely ensuring Russia’s neutrality. Russia did not join the war. This factor played a huge role in the war.
Pro-Russian forces in Armenia think that, as in the 1990s, Russia should wage war in Karabakh and re-occupy Azerbaijani lands to give them to Armenia. But these forces forget that Azerbaijan is not the Azerbaijan of the 1990s. Standing before them is a strong, high-potential army, the most powerful in the Caucasus. Also, today there is bilateral, equal, and normal cooperation between Azerbaijan and Russia. In such a situation, why would Russia want to wage war in Karabakh?!
I would also like to draw attention to one point. Parliamentary elections will be held in Armenia on June 7. A very tense election marathon is expected. There will be a fierce struggle between Pashinyan and the revanchist forces. Pro-Russian forces are using the Russian factor to come to power and win votes from the people. They are using every opportunity to confuse the people and the public. They are spreading fake and baseless information. As for the Armenian army waging war, this army alone would not dare to fight against Azerbaijan. This would mean their complete destruction. They have not forgotten the massive blow of the “Iron Fist” that Azerbaijan struck them during the 44-day Patriotic War. A war would lead to the complete destruction of Armenia. In that case, we could even liberate our ancient land, Yerevan.”
