It is unlikely that there will be a major instability in Azerbaijan, and therefore it will not be necessary to sidetrack the public’s attention toward the Karabakh issue, Russian political scientist Alexander Khramchikhin told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

In his words, the ongoing demonstrations in Azerbaijan will not lead to any major development.

“[President] Ilham Aliyev’s regime oversees the situation quite effectively,” Khramchikhin noted. “For that reason, there will be no fundamental change [in the country], at least now.” 

And to the query on whether the current domestic political situation in Azerbaijan may lead to any “adventurous” move by this country with respect to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the analyst responded as follows:

“Since these demonstrations are hardly a serious threat for Aliyev’s regime, I believe they in no way will impact the Karabakh situation.”
