Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan seems to understand what Aliyev is getting at .

“Aggressive statements are being made in the hope that Yerevan will respond, which will allow Baku to make even more aggressive statements, combining this with the dissemination of false information about the ceasefire violation by the Armenian army in order to form a justification for a new escalation,” Pashinyan said, adding that “ Armenia will not follow this path, but will adhere to the peace agenda.”
However, no one will ask Armenia . Political scientist Tigran Kocharyan is sure: war is on the threshold. In his opinion, Azerbaijan will strike the main blow in the Syunik region, through which it wants to build the so-called Zangezur corridor. Diversionary strikes will follow along the entire perimeter of the border, because Aliyev calls almost all of Armenia "Western Azerbaijan".
Formally, Armenia has a good army: in a bc data taiwan country, there are 45 thousand servicemen and 210 thousand reserves. But there are problems. First, most of the armed forces are conscripts aged 18 to 27. They are not professionals. The second problem is poor technical equipment. The recent Karabakh wars showed that both military equipment and the level of proficiency in it are not the highest, — explained military expert, member of the League of Military Diplomats Igor Zabelin.
Third, and perhaps most importantly, Armenian society is very tired. The Karabakh conflict has been going on for more than 30 years, and this is a colossal strain for the country. Plus, a generation has grown up in Armenia that wants to join the EU , not fight. Why does Pashinyan constantly talk about joining the European Union — because this is the request of Armenian society. This is no longer the society from which volunteers were recruited to fight in Nagorno-Karabakh “for the land of their ancestors.” This society, let's be honest, simply gave up on Karabakh - because it is tired of the continuous war. Whether it will fight or put pressure on Pashinyan to sign everything Aliyev says is a big question.
