YEREVAN. – The role of the Middle East and Caucasus in particular has increased, political analyst Stepan Danielyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

Asked to comment on Azerbaijani authorities’ decision to replace troops on two sections of the border with Armenia by border guards, Danielyan pointed to invisible developments which are not reported to public, but one can draw conclusions studying indirect hints. In this context political analyst noted active U.S. engagement in the regional developments and appointment of new ambassadors to Armenia and Azerbaijan.

“One should pay attention to the biographies of new ambassadors, in particular the military component. This points to an increasing meaning of the region – the entire Middle East and the Caucasus in particular,” he said.

Danielyan emphasized that in this situation Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia must be more cautious than ever, as any conflict can be a reason for the involvement of other forces and will no longer be a local one.

If the situation escalates, it will affect Azerbaijan inevitably, and he believes that Azerbaijan sees all the threats and tries to reduce tension “understanding that it may have disastrous consequences for their state”.
