Opinion: Azerbaijan would not rush to Moscow for help if it could benefit from war (video)
It is wrong to expect any breakthrough in the Karabakh-Azerbaijani conflict without the participation of Nagorno-Karabakh. Armenia has said it on many occasions but the international mediators do not seem to hear this objection and continue to pressurize Armenia trying to continue the talks in the format and model that they imagine. It is very close to the ideas of Azerbaijan,” Giro Manoyan, Head of the Hay Dat Office of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaktsutyun, said on May 18. Asked whether accusations will continue to be targeted if devices are installed along the entire length of the border, Mr Manoyan said, “They are targeted to the extent that the firing is blamed on us. They do not consider whether we are to blame or not. We cannot expect them to be a judge and find guilty ones.” In reply to the question whether Azerbaijan has reasons to unleash new aggression, Mr Manoyan said, “Should Azerbaijan not be interested in ceasing hostilities, it would not rush to Moscow asking the latter to broker a truce. Azerbaijan launched military operations in the hope that it would succeed but as we saw, it failed in its calculations. We cannot predict what Azerbaijan plans to do next. There is no logic in many actions of Azerbaijan. They will hardy be able to restrain themselves for a long time.”
