ArmInfo. A threat of war resumption should not be considered
neutralized unless the Karabakh conflict is resolved, the first
President of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan said during ANM congress.
According to him, a statement "a war is an alternative to mutual
concessions" has not and will not cease to be in force, irrespective
of how much time it will take to assure oneself of it.
"Fortunately, both the Armenian and Azerbaijani authorities feel this
threat and try to use the last diplomatic opportunities to avoid a
war. However, this situation cannot last long. The situation may be
out of control and new bloodshed may start in case of the diplomacy
failure or delaying of settlement", the ex-president said. According
to him, if not Armenia, Azerbaijan cannot but consider a military
version of the conflict settlement. L. Ter-Petrosyan also said three
statements are given against this thesis: Azerbaijan is not able to
bring Armenia and Karabakh to their knees; the Armenian Army will
overwhelm the enemy due to its will and spirit; the world community
will not allow to launch a new war; CSTO will offer a fitting rebuff
to Azerbaijan if necessary.
As the first president said, a threat of war resumption is real today
like it was yesterday and will be tomorrow.
