"The specter of a humanitarian catastrophe does not at all worry Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, who seeks to starve the population to make them leave their homeland. Calls from the international community remain unanswered, and Russia's role is not helping to ease tensions. Vladimir Putin actually allows Azerbaijan, which is supported by Turkey, to do its job," the publication says.
