YEREVAN. – There will be no elections in Azerbaijan, the outcome of the election is predetermined, and therefore there can be no interest toward something that does not exist. 

Caucasus Institute Director and political scientist Alexander Iskandaryan stated the aforesaid, during a press conference on Tuesday, as he reflected on the forthcoming presidential elections in Azerbaijan. 

Speaking on Armenia’s interests in these elections, he touched upon the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, but noted that no prospect is observed toward its political settlement.

“Accordingly, Armenia is satisfied by the maintenance of the status quo on the borders and the continuation of the negotiation process. Azerbaijan’s incumbent president was excellently carrying out this task for Armenia. And if he continues this policy, he will be an acceptable candidate for Armenia,” Iskandaryan noted.
