“That dictatorial regime that exists in Azerbaijan today, factually isolates the state from various humanitarian and political processes, and the isolation of Azerbaijan as dictatorial country becomes more and more obvious day by day,” the speaker notes.

According to him, the loot of resources that exists in Azerbaijan disturbs the development of that country, which surely is favorable for the Armenian side, taking into consideration that Azerbaijan is nevertheless, a hostile country with which we are also in war.

Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan attached importance to the fact that the Azerbaijani authorities are very predictable which can be profitable for Armenia.
