The armies of the two parties to the Karabakh conflict "are much more
heavily armed than they were in 1991, especially Azerbaijan. It might
be very difficult for Iran, Turkey and Russia to remain uninvolved",
the US-based Washington Post says in an article "In Nagorno-Karabakh,
peace elusive 20 years after Soviet fall".
According to Will Englund, the author of the article, a renewal of the
war would be a disaster for all concerned, unless it were very quick.
"A major supply route used by the United States to provision troops
in Afghanistan would be disrupted", he says.
"But Azerbaijan also says that it will never formally surrender
territory. And the people of Nagorno-Karabakh say they will never
give up the right of self-determination. For two decades, both sides
have kept passions inflamed, which turns out to be good politics for
those at the top", he says.
