Expert: Anti-army sentiments growing in Azerbaijan
“Anti-army sentiments in Azerbaijani society have grown, turning into anti-government sentiments,” the military expert David Jamalian said at the meeting with reporters today.
In his words, there is growing disconnect with the army among the public. “Ethnic minorities such as Lezgins, Talyshs and others suffer more and more casualties in the army. Azerbaijani authorities are trying to set these peoples and their natural allies- the Armenians against each other,” David Jamalian said.
He noted that the Aliyev clan has done nothing to prevent such negative phenomena in the army.
The expert said Azerbaijan is an artificial state formation where it is impossible to set up a single society, partly because of inter-ethnic and enter-community tensions within Azerbaijani society.
