PanARMENIAN.Net - Karabakh conflict was about to be settled in 1998,
according to the first Armenian President, Armenian National Congress
(ANC) leader Levon Ter-Petrossian.
"What could be accomplished 13 years ago, is attempted now, at the
expense of great losses," he said in an interview with Moscovskie
Novosti newspaper.
"Legal consequences of a referendum in Karabakh are not even
discussed. The development of events suggests a much tougher situation
than it used to be. Unfortunately, any decision taken now would be
worse than the one 13 years ago," the first Armenian president said.
As Ter-Petrossian noted, there's a probability for success in Karabakh
conflict settlement, while Russia is involved as a mediator, still,
"the war is possible if the process fails. Azerbaijan will simply run
out of patience." "Armenia will never initiate a war. Azerbaijan will
be the one to start it. And the most dangerous thing is, no one can
hold it back," he said.
