YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 4, ARMENPRESS. Azerbaijan tries to palpate the combat readiness of Karabakh military divisions via provocations on the border to develop a program of vulnerable points. The Director of the Institute of Political Studies of the Black Sea and Caspian Region Vladimir Zakharov stated this in a conversation with “Armenpress”. In addition the Director of the Institute of Political Studies of the Black Sea and Caspian Region Vladimir Zakharov touched upon the recent provocations of Azerbaijan and his desire to start war. “They desire to start war, as it’s not Aliyev and his surrounding, who will fight for Karabakh, but mercenaries and common Azerbaijani guys,” Vladimir Zakharov emphasized.

Among other things the Director of the Institute of Political Studies of the Black Sea and Caspian Region Vladimir Zakharov emphasized: “Notwithstanding, Baku will not receive a permit from its transoceanic master. It’s not a secret that the expected military actions introduce a very complicated chess combination, which is calculated not only in Baku.” The events on the Karabakh-Azerbaijani and Armenian-Azerbaijani borders are realization of the plans developed in Baku and far away from its borders. Aliyev initiates provocations because he is afraid to lose the “throne”.
