"The interests, pursued by Armenian opposition and Azerbaijani powers, are interconnected", considers Armenian political scientist Sergey Shakaryantz.

"During the PACE summit on the Armenian issue the Azerbaijani delegation often refers to the leader of Armenian opposition Levon Ter-Petrosyan", noted Shakaryantz at a press conference Friday.
He said it means that "Azerbaijani authorities and Armenian opposition have arranged a front against the Armenian state and nation".
"I am confident that what is favorable for the Armenian opposition, is favorable for Azerbaijan too", considers Shakaryantz.
He noted that if the aim of the first is to overthrow the working powers the aim of others is to humiliate Armenians in the South Caucasus.
The political scientist considers that March 1 is coming and Armenian oppositionists' protests should be expected to resume.
At the same time, he hopes that the dialogue between Armenian powers and opposition are underway though unofficially. "We should hope that the dialogue will continue", added he.
According to Shakaryantz, the powers have already started unofficial talks with some representatives of oppositional flangs and the sides coordinate their actions.
As an example, Shakaryantz listed the recent order of the Armenian president to release several prisoners.
