Nagorno Karabakh President's spokesman Davit Babayan links the continuous tension on the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan with the upcoming parliamentary elections in Azerbaijan. “The Azerbaijani authorities escalate the conflict on the eve of the upcoming parliamentary elections aimed to gain extra votes trying to blame the external enemy for the problems of the country”, “Armenpress” reports that Babayan mentioned by a video-call during a discussion held in the Media-center, adding that Azerbaijan has fully turned into a Nazi state which demonstrates aggressive policies in both domestic and foreign affairs.
