Azerbaijan coming to grips with state border
The construction of a 3 km long and 3 m high wall along the Orta Kyarvend and Chraghli villages bordering the Martakert region of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic will not be used and are simply for propaganda. This is what military psychologist David Jamalyan told "A1+".
According to him, the residential areas of the mentioned villages are practically inaccessible for Armenian snipers.
"From our positions, we can only see some residential buildings, but there is nobody living there, according to Azerbaijani presses," the expert said.
David Jamalyan says Azerbaijan's construction of a defensive wall is another way of discrediting Armenians.
"It is not excluded that that wall be included in the protocol for visits of delegations to Azerbaijan to show how terrible the separatists on the other side of the border are," the military psychologist said.
The most famous precedent of defending the country from opponents is the Great Wall of China. The Berlin Wall, which was the major symbol of the Cold War and separated the socialist and capitalist worlds, fell in 1989, and Israel continues to build an 8 meter wall on the west coast of the Jordan River to protect the country from Palestinian Arabs. All these examples have one thing in common-the walls set the existing de facto state borders. According to David Jamalyan, in the presence of such a wall, the Azerbaijani society will believe that the south-western border passes through today's frontline.
"Sooner or later, the Azerbaijani will have to come to grips with the thought that they no longer have the borders of the former Soviet Azerbaijan due to their aggression. Even if the Azerbaijani government doesn't set such an objective, by building that wall, it is psychologically preparing its society. In other words, it seems as though the locals are coming to grips with the thought that that is the state border with the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic," the psychologist said in closing.
