ARMENIAN GROUP CLAIMS SHORT WAR LOOMING IN GARABAGH
An Armenian group based in Europe has claimed that it had received
confidential data from European circles in late May saying the United
States and Russia plan to stage several clashes in the Garabagh
conflict zone in the summer that would spark a short-term war. The
plan was allegedly agreed with the Azerbaijani and Armenian
presidents, the Forum of Armenian Associations in Europe said. The
Armenian sources maintained that tens of people would be killed in the
clashes, followed by a short wave of hostilities, which could claim
more casualties. The fighting would allegedly culminate in US
peacekeeping forces being stationed in Azerbaijans Fuzuli region and
Russian peacekeepers being based in Kalbajar, a strategic Azerbaijani
region. The Forum also alleged that this scenario mostly meets
American interests, because in this case US troops would be stationed
on the border with Iran, Azerbaijans southern neighbor. Azerbaijan and
Armenia fought a lengthy war that ended with the signing of a
cease-fire in 1994, but Armenia continues to occupy Upper Garabagh and
seven other Azerbaijani districts in defiance of international law.
Peace talks have accomplished little so far.
