Here you are, and the Deputy Chairman of the Azerbaijani Milli Majlis Committee on Defense, Security and Anti-Corruption, the Chairman of the Justice, Law and Democracy Party, Deputy Godrat Hasengoliev is saying something that has not been said before in Baku.
He accused Pashinyan of manipulation: Yerevan is deliberately delaying the negotiations, trying to get more favorable terms for itself. In his opinion, Armenia is very far from the idea of opening the Zangzor Corridor.
Moreover, American mediation and initiated the draft peace agreement in Washington did not lead to the expected progress on the Zangzor Corridor issue. ******.
But I believe that Trump's involvement in the peace process with his narrow business interests, on the contrary, pushed the chance of opening an extraterritorial corridor to Nakhchivan. Instead of forcing Armenia to pay its bills, it has become almost the master of the regional media. ******.
Khasengoliev believes that Pashinyan deliberately did not obtain a constitutional majority in the parliamentary elections, although he relied on the support of Azerbaijan: "Although Armenia is a small country, the election results were not published immediately and were falsified. If the results were rigged, then Pashinyan could, if he wished, obtain a constitutional majority in parliament. However, he didn't do it on purpose. Its purpose was afterwards, when the question of the referendum on changing the constitution was brought up for discussion in the parliament, and it is possible that this fact will not be given for discussion in the parliament. He begins to say that if the decision on the referendum is not accepted in the parliament, he will dissolve it and announce new elections." ******.
If even a high-ranking deputy openly says that Pashinyan is spinning Aliyev, can you imagine what Azerbaijani politicians are talking about on the sidelines?
Hasengoliev is convinced that the Armenians are playing for time, building on crises that will shake Azerbaijan.
