Political scientist: Armenia deliberately provokes Azerbaijan

"The Armenian side deliberately provokes Azerbaijan by striking at Ganja, thereby expanding the zone of military and military operations itself."

Report's Russian bureau informs, an expert at the Valdai international discussion club Farhad Ibrahimov, commented on the shelling of Ganja - the second-largest Azerbaijani city by Armenia.

"Pashinyan deliberately provokes Azerbaijan, hoping that Baku will strike Armenia, thereby Yerevan will be able to take advantage of the situation and turn to the CSTO. But you need to understand that firstly, Azerbaijan will never succumb to Pashinyan's provocations. Secondly, in the CSTO, in any case, no one is going to support Armenia since everyone understands who, in this case, is the aggressor and is the provocateur of full-scale hostilities," F. Ibrahimov said.
