/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The top U.S. intelligence official warned Tuesday
that fighting can flare between Armenia and Azerbaijan, AP reported.
In his testimony before the Senate Committee, Director of National
Intelligence (DNI), Admiral Dennis Blair said that the unresolved
conflicts of the Caucasus provide the most likely flashpoints in
Eurasia.
"Although there has been progress in the past year toward
Turkey-Armenia rapprochement, this has affected the delicate
relationship between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and increases the risk
of a renewed conflict over Nagorno Karabakh," he said.
He also said that President Dmitry Medvedev's viewing of Moscow's
former Soviet neighbors as a "zone of privileged interests" could
undermine relations with Washington.
