Ilham Aliyev is afraid, which is why he is behaving boldly and abruptly, says Georgiy Derluguian, a sociology professor at New York University in Abu Dhabi. In an interview with CivilNet, Derluguian draws parallels between Ilham Aliyev’s recent ultimatum statements and Putin’s actions before the war in Ukraine. According to the expert, Armenia needs to seriously prepare for possible conflicts by strengthening its borders and developing its defense capabilities, including the use of drones.
