Quod erat demonstrandum! Azerbaijan no longer hides its intention to  use Akna-Stepanakert road as starting point for "reintegration" of  Armenians of Artsakh

ArmInfo.Azerbaijan wants the Akna (Agdam)-Stepanakert road to become a starting point for the  "reintegration" of the Armenians living in Nagorno-Karabakh. Hikmet  Hajiyev, a foreign policy advisor to Azerbaijani President Ilham  Aliyev, told journalists, who accompanied the trip of foreign  diplomats to Akna, , allegedly to demonstrate the infrastructure  built to launch the movement to besieged Artsakh.

Thus, the Azerbaijani official once again confirmed that Azerbaijani  blockade was aimed at the forcible absorption of Artsakh.

At the same time, Hajiyev cynically stated that while Azerbaijan is  building roads, they (Artsakh people - ed. note) continue to install  roadblocks. Hajiyev also decided "to worry" about the budget of the  Artsakh people, and assured that this road would also significantly  reduce transport costs, and in this way it would be possible to  deliver everything necessary for the Armenians living in  Nagorno-Karabakh.

"They will also get the opportunity to use this road to promote their  products to the markets of Azerbaijan.  But instead of using this  road, they set up barriers. Azerbaijan's proposal is to make this  road the starting point for the reintegration of Karabakh Armenians  into the political, economic, social the sesctors of Azerbaijan.  Unfortunately, they refuse it. As you can see, there is also a  railway here. In fact, all this is done in order to make life easier  for them, solve this problem through political means and create  better economic and social opportunities. Unfortunately, they set up  barriers at the other end of the road so that it was impossible to  use it," said the representative of the state that has been besieging  120,000 residents of Artsakh for 248 days and is waiting to die them  of starvation.

 Commenting on Hajiyev's revelations, Russian-Israeli blogger  Alexander Lapshin recalled that 2 weeks ago, on July 31, 2023, he  wrote that the Azerbaijanis would soon organize a provocation in  Agdam with "humanitarian supplies". "They will drive a convoy of  trucks with expired and low-quality products, bring foreign diplomats  and show that it is not Azerbaijan that starves the people of  Artsakh, but the Armenian authorities themselves. Today, August 16,  2023, all the media in Azerbaijan write that a convoy with  humanitarian aid is moving towards Aghdam, as well as a convoy with  diplomats, who are being carried by a rare slicker, Aliyev's personal  adviser, Hikmet Hajiyev," Lapshin said. "Even then, I wrote that  friends, have time to prepare for a provocation, you don't have much  time. Moreover, I clearly wrote what needs to be done, I wrote it  point by point. Do you think someone heard my words? Of course not.  On the contrary, fools ran into the comments shouting: "All this is  nonsense, the Russians will not allow this, and Yerevan is older than  Rome!" and "Lapshin is a spy, and we are smart." If I had bet on the  stupidity of many Armenians, I would have become a millionaire."

Tell you what's next? The Azerbaijanis will use their intelligence  network inside the territory controlled by Russian peacekeepers to  kidnap Artsakh residents directly from Stepanakert, Martakert and  Martuni. I hope you have no doubt that not all the inhabitants of  Artsakh are saints and there are enough spies and enemies there who  provide the state security service of Azerbaijan with information  about everything that is happening in Stepanakert.

In addition, a number of officers and soldiers of the Russian  peacekeeping contingent, perhaps, do not live on the salary of the  Russian Ministry of Defense, but earn a little money on the "side",  if you understand what I mean. And now let's write that Lapshin is  lying all the time, the spy, he doesn't praise us enough.  Then do  not forget to raise a toast to Artsakh. And I ran to the next meeting  just in defense of Artsakh," he said.

Lapshin once again recalled what he said and wrote that the next  provocation of Azerbaijan would be in Aghdam and they would try to  bring "humanitarian aid" to the starving Artsakh, adding that after  the Azerbaijani trucks with expired Azerbaijani products, the  Azerbaijani servicemen would enter Stepanakert "to follow the order  in the distribution of products to the population" and the topic of  Artsakh can be closed once and for all. "And if you think that the  Russian peacekeepers will stop them, you are mistaken, the Russians  will only express their concern," the blogger said.

Lapshin also drew attention to the fact that now the special services  of Azerbaijan have started working through the Russians in Armenia.  "They took on Russian groups in social networks and everywhere from  anonymous accounts, under the guise of "naive tourists" impose a new  agenda on both the Russians in Armenia and the Armenians themselves -  "Artsakh must be given to Azerbaijan for the sake of peace". 

Absolutely identical word for word messages allegedly from "naive  Russians" (in fact, these are Azerbaijani bots) with a proposal to  transport products from Azerbaijan to Artsakh. And then, in support  of their publication, Baku agents release bots with Armenian surnames  that write "It's a good idea to transport products from Azerbaijan to  Artsakh!", "For the sake of peace, we must go for it!". Further, the  most important thing is that the fake Russians under the leadership  of General Ali Nagiyev from the State Security Service of Azerbaijan  raise the question - "for what reason it is impossible to bring food  from Azerbaijan, maybe the Armenian authorities staged a famine in  Artsakh, and the Azerbaijanis, on the contrary, want the people of  Artsakh feed?"

It is interesting to observe how initially only 2-3 Azerbaijani bots  worked in the comments. But then real Armenians from uneducated  marginals join in, and some of them support Azerbaijani agents and  like the words "Don't refuse help, Azerbaijan wants to help!", he  noted.

Lapshin added that the Azerbaijanis took up information processing of  tens of thousands of Russians in Yerevan. "Now they are just testing  the target audience, but in general, General Ali Nagiyev seriously  bet on the Russians in Armenia to organize provocations. Most of the  Russians in Armenia are smart and worthy guys, and they themselves  fled from dictatorship and war, I hope for their intelligence here as  well.  And we will be vigilant and try to nip these provocations in  the bud," he concluded.
