Azeri assassin Ramil Safarov’s extradition proved Armenia needs strategic planning, Director of Regional Studies Center (RSC) believes.

At September 3 news conference in Yerevan, political expert Richard Giragosian shared a forecast as to possible development of events. According to him, Azerbaijan may be expelled from UN Security Council, with import ban on weapons to be imposed.

“Turkey’s reaction to Baku’s step proved the official Ankara’s weakness in allowing Azerbaijan to control its international policy, as Turkey, clearly, did not expect such actions,” the expert said.

“The international community will be sure to punish Azerbaijan, with the country posing a threat to Armenia as well as the whole world. Safarov’s crime is the perpetuation of 1915 Genocide,” Giragosian said.
