An interview with Major General Hayk Kotanjian, Commandant of the Institute for National Strategic Studies of the Armenian Ministry of Defense, Advisor to the Minister of Defense on Defense Security Policy, Dr. of Political Sciences
– Dr. Kotanjian, how would to correlate President Ilham Aliyev’s departure from Saint-Petersburg right after the trilateral meeting with the coincidence of the timing of the raiding sortie by some Azerbaijani soldiers beyond the ceasefire line in Karabakh?
– After the meeting with Presidents Dmitry Medvedev and Serzh Sargsyan on the Karabakh Problem, initiated by the head of the Russian state, President Aliyev hastily left Saint-Petersburg so as to avoid answering the questions about the provocation happened during his sojourn in Russia and done by his own command on the ceasefire line several hours passed by the trilateral meeting. The sultanate style regime existing in Azerbaijan excludes the initiative of such a war provocation to be unsanctioned, moreover, synchronized with the peace initiative by the Russian President.
It is worthwhile to mention that this next military provocation by Azerbaijan against the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh is synchronized not only with the peace initiative by President Medvedev, but also with the US President Barack Obama’s address recently delivered to Baku by the US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, enclosing an imperative for the peaceful resolution of the Karabakh Conflict.
It is not the first time that such a disrespectful approach to the Russian President’s peace initiatives has been made by the President of Azerbaijan. About a year ago the public attention was focused on Aliyev’s statement in the Chatham House emphasizing Azerbaijan’s readiness to resume hostilities for returning Karabakh, which was quite contradicting to the Maendorf Declaration signed by him a while ago, initiated again by President Medvedev.
