At a press conference held on April 8 one of the Armenian heroes of
the Karabakh war, Major-General Arkady Ter-Tadevosian, stated that
negotiations over Karabakh are very difficult as it is very difficult
to reconcile the concepts of self-determination and territorial
integrity. Moreover the general situation is becoming more complicated
because of the difficulties in Armenian-Turkish relations.
The General predicts a further worsening of the relations between
Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Karabakh issue and further military
activity there. He would not give specific dates but he hinted
that this activity could take place in 2011-2013 and suggested that
Azerbaijan and Turkey would start a military adventure together.
The General mentioned however that Azerbaijan is not yet ready to
launch an attack on Karabakh is it would need an Army three times
the size of Armenia's. Currently the Azeri Army has 130,000 soldiers,
said the General.
