Political expert Ara Papyan forecasts serious changes in the region. He noted that Azerbaijan currently faces many problems, stressing the need for Armenia to foster the weakening of Baku through cooperation with indigenous people.
He noted decrease in oil deposits in Azerbaijan as one of the internal problems the county faces. The expert further predicted intensification of anti-Armenian propaganda, ruling out large-scale hostilities in future.
“The West won’t allow Heydar Aliyev to start a war. Aliyev himself realizes that Baku doesn’t enjoy military superiority over Armenia. Though Azerbaijan continuously boosts arms imports, it won’t be able tot secure victory,” he said.
Historian Gevorg Melkonyan, in turn, noted that the developments will either bring about weakening of Aliyev dynasty under the influence of Western countries or internal coup.
“There will be no concessions in Nagorno Karabakh issue, if Aliyev dynasty continues to rule the country,” the historian said.
