Intensifying situation in regions nearing border is significant part of Azerbaijani strategy

YEREVAN, JANUARY 15, ARMENPRESS. Aggressive policy regarding the regulation of the Nagorno Karabakh issue remains to be an inseparable part of the Azerbaijani regime. As reports "Armenpress" Director of the Oriental Studies Institute Ruben Safrastyan stated this during the press conference held on January 15. Ruben Safrastyan stated: "Azerbaijani aggressive rhetoric continued during 2012, which was also expressed by means of weaponry. Intensifying situation in regions nearing border is a part of present strategy adopted by the Azerbaijani authorities. In addition he noted that all the activities of Azerbaijan are attempts to attack Armenia." In Ruben Safrastyan's opinion this policy of Azerbaijan compels us "to be active, particularly in the process of peaceful regulation in the respect of putting forward new suggestions, as well as to be active in the relation with our allies."

Among other things the Director of the Oriental Studies Institute underscored that change of power in Georgia will have its reflection on the region as well. Ruben Safrastyan stated: "In my opinion we shall see a new Georgia in future, which will conduct policy based upon actual foundation."
