One of the witnesses we heard last week, Ms. Olesya Vartanyan, made a somewhat shocking statement. She told us that the Azerbaijani offensive was simply intended to position itself strategically for a possible new armed conflict with Armenia. That way, Armenian territory would be split in two. They would therefore get through force that which they clearly seemed unable to obtain through negotiation, meaning a corridor leading to Nakhchivan.
What are your thoughts on Ms. Vartanyan’s testimony?
