Polish senator: Baku may crush Armenia with tanks in three months
23 July 2010 [13:08] - Today.Az
Armenia should liberate territories surrounding Nagorno Karabakh and
Karabakh itself should be given international guarantees of security,
Polish senator (member of parliament's upper chamber), head of the
Polish-Armenian friendship group Lukash Abgarovic said.
The Polish senator says the fact that Azerbaijani regions surrounding
Nagorno-Karabakh are controlled by Armenia is unacceptable for
international community expressing confidence that the Karabakh issue
will be resolved through referendum in 10 years.
"This conflict must be resolved, because after several years
Azerbaijan's army expenditures will enable Baku to crush Armenia with
tanks in three months without any other assistance," the senator said.
The senator believes without Russia's help, Armenia will have no
chance in a confrontation with Azerbaijan.
`Therefore, the conflict should be resolved in a way that the Karabakh
issue will not be linked with the Armenia-Turkey normalization.
Stabile relations between Yerevan and Baku are a key to a peace in the
South Caucasus,' he added.
Abgarovich says, that today prospect of war in Karabakh seems
improbable, but this can happen in the longer term. Armenia's security
still depends on Russia to a large extent. If Moscow considers
economic cooperation with Azerbaijan more important, it may simply not
support Armenia in the event of an attack by Azerbaijan, senator
added.
