Azerbaijan may resort to adventure over the resumption of military
actions over Nagorno-Karabakh in a war is unleashed against Iran,
an Armenian political analyst has said.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, Narek Galstyan said that Azerbaijan
might not start military actions against Iran, but take advantage of
the situation.
"An attack against Iran will have very bad consequences for us,"
said Galstyan.
"If Azerbaijan does not attack Iran, then it will take advantage
over the conflict situation over Iran and may resort to adventure
over the resumption of the Karabakh conflict," he explained.
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict sparked in the early 1990s when Karabakhi
Armenians voiced their intention to live independently.
Later it spiralled into a bloody war, leaving around 30,000 killed
and more than a million displaced.
According to Narek Galstyan, in case of such a scenario Russia has
obligations to defend the territory of the Republic of Armenia.
"Military actions against Iran are not only against our interests,
but also that of Russia," said Galstyan, pointing to the fact that
Armenia and Russian are allies.
"For that reason in such case Russia will respond quickly," he
explained.
Narek Galstyan also said he believed that an Iranian war would have
far more consequences on Armenia, rather than a Russo-Georgian war.
