YEREVAN, JANUARY 18, ARMENPRESS. The economic crisis in Azerbaijan is explained not only by economic factors.  It included some political base, impact of geopolitical developments, as a result of which the social explosion in the neighboring country will be inevitable. As “Armenpress” reports, the Head of the Modus Vivendi Center Ara Papian considers that the situation will become more complex in Azerbaijan, as after lifting the sanctions from Iran, it will export 500.000 barrel oil daily into the international market.  It means that the Azerbaijani oil which is about to end, will no longer interest anyone.

“Certainly, there is an economic factor in the current developments, but the political factor is also very important. For instance, the relations with Russia have become very tense recently. Those are also the results of the Russian-Turkish tense relations as Moscow understands that Azerbaijan promotes “one nation, two states” ideology,” Papian said.
