ArmInfo. Azerbaijan and
Turkey are clearly preparing a new military aggression against Armenia. Political scientist Karen Igityan wrote about this on his Facebook page.
In his opinion, most likely, Ankara and Baku will break through the corridor, with the Pashinyan government completely inactive (vacation, bicycle, etc.). Igityan notes that it should be clearly understood that having lost Artsakh, Armenia lost the shield that protected it from the attack. Now a new attack is being prepared by Azerbaijan. As an example, the political scientist cited the news feed, which testifies to Baku's intentions. In particular, on August 14, an Il-76 transport plane of the Azerbaijani airline "Silk Way Airlines" flew from Azerbaijan to Israel. "Usually, this is how Azerbaijan transports weapons. This was the case in early September 2023," Igityan recalls.
He then recalled the demand of the government of RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on August 16 for the withdrawal of Russian troops from the Syunik region, where they were stationed on the border with Azerbaijan. On August 17, the air defense of the neighboring state conducted exercises, on the same day, the Turkish Air Force conducted reconnaissance near the borders of Armenia - Bayraktar UAVs and Boeing 737 AEW&C flew. A day later, on August 18, Azerbaijani propaganda resources write that Armenia is forming an artillery unit in the Goris region, which, according to Azerbaijani propaganda, gives Baku the right to strike Armenia. On the same day, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry accuses Yerevan of shelling its positions in the direction of Julfa (Nakhichevan). On August 19, a Bayraktar UAV flies unhindered from Turkish territory into the territory of Armenia - almost to Yerevan.
"The map shows Azerbaijan's territorial claims, which it made back in 1919 against Armenia, Georgia and Russia. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev directly declared that Yerevan also belongs to Azerbaijan. The elites of Turkey and Azerbaijan believe that Armenia should not exist. This must be understood," the political scientist noted.
