    Military blackmail the only tool of Azerbaijan, expert says

    January 22, 2011 | 14:04


    Azerbaijan will not unlash war in the near future taking into account
    military equipment in the line of contact and military-political
    balance, Sergey Minasyan, deputy director of the Caucasus Institute,
    told the journalists today.

    `Ceasefire violation cases by Azerbaijani side are not indicatives of
    approaching war but an instrument, a military blackmail, which Baku
    uses to influence both Armenia and the world community to win
    concessions in the peace process. A military blackmail is the only
    tool Azerbaijan has. Warlike statements prove that Azerbaijan has no
    other sources of influence,' the expert said, adding that Baku fully
    realizes what price it will pay for war. Consequently, the final
    decision is not made. According to Minasyan, the world community is
    inclined to maintaining the status quo in Nagorno-Karabakh.

    In his turn political expert Manvel Sargsyan noted that Azerbaijan's
    policy is aimed at creating situation when resumption of hostilities
    is approved by the world community.

    `We should draw conclusions and take necessary steps to turn legal
    balance in favor of Armenia. We must persuade world countries to
    protect our position on the Karabakh conflict. For this purpose
    Armenia should cooperate with countries having similar problems, for
    instance Cyprus. Yerevan should also make it clear whether to
    recognize Karabakh's independence or no,' Sargsyan stressed.
