Speaking with Alpha News, Russian military analyst Viktor Baranets commented on the escalation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, which resulted in the deaths of four Armenian soldiers.

“Firstly, the Armenians died not because they shot themselves, but because they were shot at from the opposite side. This means that Azerbaijan is grossly violating the truce. This fact is completely obvious. I try to always take a neutral position and not blame anyone, because this story is very confusing. But this story with the deaths of four Armenian border guards is completely obvious. This is a clear provocation on the Azerbaijani side, aimed at causing a quarrel between Azerbaijan and Armenia and reviving the conflict, which, thank God, has begun to fade away,” the expert emphasized.

Baranets does not see a resolution to the conflict between the two countries and believes that this provocation at the border will not be the last.

“Aliyev has already become the president of Azerbaijan. What does he need? He doesn’t need anything. He got everything he needed. There are people in Azerbaijan who continue to take out their anger on the Armenians in this way. This will continue forever, unfortunately,” Baranets concluded.
