Celebration in Azerbaijan: Political Analyst

Political analyst Gagik Hambaryan wrote on his Facebook page: “There is celebration in Azerbaijan—‘war’ between Armenia and Artsakh. As expected, the Ashgabat sultanate reacted with great enthusiasm to the micro-rally organized by supporters of Nikol Pashinyan on May 25 at Yerevan's Republic Square, where certain senseless hooligans allowed themselves to insult the Artsakh leadership and especially the President of Artsakh, Bako Sahakyan, with street language... The response from Baku was quick...

Azerbaijan began to use all of this as anti-Armenian propaganda... Official Baku will pivot our government-aligned primitives’ actions against us by quoting the babble of anti-national elements in various international organizations, trying to prove that the people of Artsakh feel safer within Azerbaijan than alongside Armenia, where there is a threat of 'cutting off' the head of the president of Artsakh, as well as convincing its own society that there are indeed insurmountable problems between us, and Baku should benefit from this...

We will soon listen to the ramblings of Samed Seyidov and other Azerbaijani diplomats at the PACE and other forums... Prime Minister Pashinyan is creating significant problems for Armenia by not restraining his supporters... I am not surprised, as many of the government members are devoid of a state mentality, let alone their certain supporters, who are anti-national elements...

It was simply disgusting to read the cheap comments from several representatives of the ruling party during the anti-national mini-gathering held yesterday in Yerevan when such nonsense was voiced... It turns out they absolutely do not recognize the speakers of that gathering, even when the evidence is so prevalent that there is no need to bring examples, as they have actively participated in organizing Pashinyan's numerous rallies, as well as in the electoral campaigns of certain candidates from the ruling party...

P.S. The Prime Minister of Armenia must put in order certain supporters of his who are anti-national elements and pose a great danger to our country...”
