Political experts took Azerbaijani hysteria over Bordyuzha’s statement for granted

YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 2, ARMENPRESS: Military cooperation between Armenia and Russia must be continued, presenting in CSTO programs. Armenpress reports this has been noted by Gevorg Melkonyan, candidate of historical sciences, during February 1 meeting with journalists. According to him Armenian policy is a right chosen one. He took for granted Azerbaijani hysteria over Yerevan statement of Secretary General of CSTO Nikolay Bordyuzha on Stepanakert airport. “Even the most indifferent officials have noted that Bordyuzha is advocating Armenians just because he supported initiation and evaluated peace in the region. And that was rather predictable,” he said.

“His statement made clear that only insane may declare he would strike civil aircraft. Anyways, we should exclude nothing as we have to deal with ill regime,” Melkonyan said. Political expert Levon Shirinyan has highlighted that cooperation with Russia doesn’t mean to contradict west. “There is nothing forever. History shows that even friends and relatives are not forever. One should never present with a unilateral position,” he said.

CSTO Secretary General Nikolay Bordyuzha does not take seriously Azerbaijani statements regarding threats to use its airspace to destroy civil aircrafts. Nikolay Bordyuzha stated in the briefing with the journalists launched on January 29 he takes Azerbaijan as a civil state. ''We do know examples of hitting civil aircraft in the history; definitely we do know the counter response by international community. I do not think any state would intend to take such a step, so I do not take that information for granted,” Bordyuzha said.
