Who wants peace doesn't shoot: what is happening on the conditional Azerbaijan-Armenia border?

The whole world is rejoicing over the completion of Armenian-Azerbaijani negotiations on the coordination of the last two points, calling on the parties to sign a peace treaty as soon as possible. However, the Armenian side still has much to do for it to happen. Moreover, Yerevan is actively preparing for war...

This is evidenced by the fact that over the past few days, Armenian armed forces have been shelling Azerbaijani positions daily, which indicates that official Yerevan continues provocations in the direction of the Azerbaijani-Armenian border with the aim of escalating the situation. The Armenian side is unlikely to have forgotten how this ended before. Therefore, they want war again, writes the newspaper "Caspian".

Moreover, the Armenian side is carrying out engineering and fortification work at combat positions. This is clearly visible in the footage captured by Azerbaijan Public Television during filming at the conditional border between the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic and Armenia. And here it is impossible to blame everything on the actions of opponents of the current government in Armenia, in particular former presidents Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan, who seek to overthrow Nikol Pashinyan's government either through elections or through revolution and undermine peaceful dialogue with neighboring states.

Who is interested in destabilization?

First of all - France, which, against the backdrop of attempts by US President Donald Trump's administration to achieve a ceasefire in Ukraine, is trying to open a new front of confrontation with Russia, using Yerevan as part of its own strategy.

It is no coincidence that Nikol Pashinyan immediately informed Emmanuel Macron about the negotiations with Baku. After all, Macron is definitely against a peaceful settlement, and France has significant leverage over the Armenian authorities. The question is whether Armenia itself wants peace?

And although the Armenian side agreed to Azerbaijan's conditions during the negotiations, now it seems they will torpedo the agreements reached. The goal is to avoid inevitable concessions. How? Very simply: by staging provocations at the border. We've been through this before. After all, Yerevan has repeatedly disrupted agreements.

Who forced Yerevan to agree?

Meanwhile, the CIS political science community is simply shocked by the Armenian Foreign Ministry's consent to accept Baku's proposals on the last two articles of the draft "Agreement on the Establishment of Peace and Interstate Relations between the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Azerbaijan."

Especially considering that Yerevan proposed to publish a joint statement with Baku on the completion of negotiations on the coordination of the draft treaty. A quite reasonable question arises: who pushed Armenia to remove the last reservations?

Experts unanimously assure that it was the US President, due to the fact that the current administration has agreed to the return of competition between the great powers. That is, Trump, who professes realism, agrees that the United States should return to the South Caucasus as one of the vectors of power in a multipolar system. In this sense, he does not need wars. And he is not going to indulge the Armenians, who are eternally walking with an outstretched hand. Trump is concerned about America's greatness, and therefore he does not intend to distribute multi-million dollar alms to the detriment of his country.
