Azerbaijan is the closest to repeating the Arab scenario among the CIS states. The fact causes serious concern among the country’s authorities, according to Islamic studies expert.

As Igor Dobaev stated, “riots in Arabic East can have a negative influence on Central Asia and South Caucasus, which face the same situation with a drastic difference in well-being among lower and higher circles.” “Azerbaijan is the closest to facing the consequences of such a situation,” the Russian expert noted.

“The recent riots is a new generation of so-called “color revolutions.” Simultaneous outbreaks are most often caused by the external influence,” the expert said, characterizing the phenomenon as “chain wars”, Rosbalt reported.
