Baku views Karabakh war as a remedy against revolution?

PanARMENIAN.Net - In near future, resumption of hostilities between Armenia and Azerbaijan can be expected, Azerbaijani newspaper Yeni Musavat said, citing reliable sources.

According to Yeni Musavat, despite the decision to continue talks, taken at March 5 Armenia-Russia-Azerbaijan presidential meeting in Sochi, official Baku is “determined to resort to localized military actions.” The risky step is triggered by growing strain in Azerbaijan’s internal policy.

Having realized that “Arab revolutionary war” is affecting Azerbaijan, the country’s authorities initiated a price decrease, attempted a struggle against corruption and monopolism to hold the situation under control. Resumption of hostilities in Karabakh is viewed as the last resort. Thus, the Azeri authorities are signaling the West that in case the Arab revolutionary scenarios are repeated in Azerbaijan, the official Baku will violate the regional stability, thus undermining the West’s interests.

Kremiln, in turn, supposes a new war in Karabakh to be the only way to avoid revolutions in Armenia and Azerbaijan, which may undermine Russia’s interest in the region. After the color revolution in Georgia, Moscow realized that any change of power in post-Soviet space is fraught with negative consequences for Russia. This is why, Moscow is determined to spare no means in order to prevent Jasmine revolutions in post Soviet space,

According to the article published by Caucasus Online, Azerbaijani expert Azad Isazade doesn’t rule out that “Russia may have a scenario of military operations envisaging weakening of both sides for further deployment of peacekeepers in the region.”
