The pre-election political tension in Armenia has reached its peak. The opposition’s street protests, the arrest of activists and journalists, and internal clashes are further aggravating the situation in the country. How the official Yerevan will handle this crisis and its potential impact on the Azerbaijan-Armenia peace talks is being closely monitored by both the region and the international community.
On this very topic, political analyst Dr. Ahmad Shahidov gave an interview to Baku TV today from Washington. In his commentary, Dr. Shahidov analyzed the current political situation in Armenia, stating that the ongoing internal clashes are weakening the Armenian government’s decision-making mechanism and seriously endangering the peace process.
Dr. Ahmad Shahidov also noted that in an attempt to deflect internal pressure and maintain its position, the Armenian leadership might resort to new provocations in the region, which could further escalate tensions in Azerbaijan-Armenia relations.
The political analyst also touched upon the stance of the United States and the European Union towards the developments in Armenia, emphasizing that Western circles are sending warnings to Yerevan and highlighting that the suspension of peace talks would have severe consequences for the region.
