It is not always that imperial centers reconcile themselves with independence of peoples as a result of collapse of empires. Azerbaijan, driven by murmur of loss of the own empire, cannot adapt itself to the reality, member of the public council of the Armenian Defense Ministry, military psychologist Davit Jamalyan said. 

According to him, the history of collapse of Russian, French, and British empires shows that when the alliance has gained independence from them with its ethnic borders, the latter have not made territorial concessions; sooner or later the empire center has reconciled itself with that thought. "

According to the military psychologist, when we compare which party will experience more losses in case of war, it becomes obvious that it will be only Azerbaijan, as Armenia is in more favorable conditions. "We must be so strong with our potential - army and economy, that Azerbaijan becomes sure that their aggressive strivings can no more become reality," he said. 

Referring to the joint statement of the Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents in Astrakhan, Mr. Jamalyan expressed an opinion that it is the most to which the parties could come in the current conditions.

Mr. Jamalyan said that looking directly at the reality, the situation can be depicted as "claim of territory with promise of not colonizing. "It is historically unprecedented and impossible phenomenon in our case," he said.
