At a meeting with journalists on Monday, military expert David
Jamalyan said that all the political forces likely seeking power in
Azerbaijan are not in any way different from Ilham Aliyev's regime,
and their policy toward Armenia will not in any way be different.
"Azerbaijan has no prospects of having authorities that would admit
that present-day Azerbaijan's territory is 15,000 sq kilometers less
than Soviet Azerbaijan's territory," Mr Jamalyan said.
With respect to the recent social unrest in Azerbaijan, the expert
said it is evidence of an emerging crisis, with a social aspect to be
necessarily considered as poverty is actually a problem in Azerbaijan.
"One more problem is that Azerbaijani society is inclined to turn any
authorities into a despotic regime. The third problem is
permissiveness, and we are going to see an explosion during the
pre-election period," Mr Jamalyan said.
As to whether the social unrest in Azerbaijan may develop into a war,
the expert said that such a scenario is possible only if Azerbaijan is
sure of its victory. Since Azerbaijan has not such prospects, resuming
hostilities would be a gamble for that country.
"A war scenario will speed up the Aliyev clan's collapse. So the clan
may attempt destabilization, which, however, would not lead to a new
war," the expert said.
Earlier, Mr Jamalyan said that if Azerbaijan decides to resume
hostilities against Nagorno-Karabakh in an attempt to resolve the
problem of domestic tension and enable the Aliyev regime to retain
power, that very step will cause the regime's collapse.
