ArmInfo. There will be no war in Nagornyy Karabakh over the next years
at least. Restart of the battle actions by Azerbaijan maybe possible
only in case if the West stops being interested in Azerbaijan as an
energy carrier, Armenian political expert Levon Melik-Shakhnazaryan
told ArmInfo correspondent. 'I don't think the West is ready to have
big losses for the territorial ambitions of Azerbaijan. And this is
a very important moment', - he said.
He thinks that the South Ossetian and Nagornyy Karabakh conflicts
differ principally, as unlike Azerbaijan Georgia is supported by the
USA, England and other western states, since the same USA and England
are against war because of their oil interests.
'As for Azerbaijan, all this is clear to it, and Ilham Aliyev's
statements have three goals: first, they are for local usage; second -
they want to blackmail the West "if you do not help, we shall start
the war and you will not have our oil", and the third - to be far
from the legal side of the issue as much as possible.
Since if we hold legal revision on the issue of the NKR and Azerbaijan
self-determination, it will turn out they cannot be compared', -
the political expert concluded.
