Will Baku manage to form a basis of "only humanitarian" significance? Babajanyan

Arman Babajanyan, chairman of the "For the Republic" party, wrote on his Facebook page.

"Beyond the call of all participants of the UN Security Council discussion to open the Lachine Corridor, it is necessary to see what effect this call will have on Azerbaijan.
Today, a statement may be adopted, which the Security Council should discuss at France's suggestion, whose content and emphasis are significant.
No one doubts that Azerbaijan calculated the events very well; just such a development. It is hard to imagine that a single reasonable country in the world could take a different position in the crisis.
The issue is that although the members of the UN Security Council call on Azerbaijan to open the corridor immediately, on solid political ground, they are currently participants in a significant geopolitical confrontation with their different interests, different motivations, and interests, which are directly expressed not only directly in the South Caucasus region, but also the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict and the Artsakh conflict.
In that sense, Azerbaijan has taken the step of closing the corridor and encircling Artsakh based on the given realities, and here is the whole question of what happened and is happening on the natural ground, where there is a world war, and where they touch entirely other interests and logic.
Therefore, the question that concerns us here should be not only the emphasis on whether it will be opened but what international logic will be formed around the Lachin Corridor and whether Baku will succeed in creating the basis of the "only humanitarian" significance."
