“Taking into consideration Azerbaijan’s belligerent and warlike rhetoric, new provocations are not ruled out,” PM Pashinyan said.
He said the Azerbaijani side chose this period to escalate the situation as the world is fully focused on developments around Ukraine.
“It was the case during the 44-day war, when the attention of the international community was focused on Covid-19 and the ensuing problems. Now the situation is the same all over the world, because due to the situation around Ukraine, the countries are also focused on these problems in terms of preparations for the coming winter. Perhaps the increasing importance of the energy component has a certain role in making Azerbaijan's positions more aggressive,” the Prime Minister said.
