Expert forecasts Azeri provocation during Eurovision contest

Any major event Azerbaijan hosts will be aimed at spreading anti-Armenian propaganda, a military expert said.

As David Jamalyan told a press conference, Azerbaijan will probably try to destabilize the Armenian-Azerbaijani border during the Eurovision song contest.

“Azeri hostilities will aim at sparking retaliatory measures by the Armenian side, thus demonstrating the “barbarism” of the Armenian army.

The expert noted that with these steps Azerbaijan will try to prove Armenia as “aggressor”, paving the way for possible strike on Nagorno Karabakh. “Retaliatory measures must be taken in case Azerbaijan opens fire towards Armenian positions or even at civilians,” Mr. Jamalyan said.

The expert further noted Armenia’s decision to withdraw from Eurovision 2012 song contest as a correct one.
