"I think, there are probabilities to resume an armed conflict, since
I can by no means understand why Azerbaijan delays the negotiations,"
President Serzh Sargsyan has answered to "Moscow News" question if
the risk to resume military activities is great. According to him
probably accumulating great resources and means, they anticipate for
a moment to provoke a military adventure.
"It's not a right approach, since the events can have two
developments. First, a total war and occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh,
which is possible only after massacre of NK people, and second, defeat
of Azerbaijan, loss of new territories. In this case, Azerbaijan will
protest for the loss of other five, six or more lands. And what's
then? Another treaty, ceasefire deal, violations and war...All those
scenarios have no prospects."
To the question if the appearance of two new states in South Caucasus
will have any impact on the resolution of Karabakh conflict, S.
Sargsyan has noticed that Karabakh conflict differs from all those
other conflicts.
"Generally all those conflicts are unique, each of them has its
reasons, consequences and the dynamics. As a precedent model,
surely, appearance of news states contributes to the international
understanding of the right of NK people."
Referring to the recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh by Armenia, Serzh
Sargsyan noticed that Armenia makes similar remarks.
"It can happen when military activities resume. More direct question
is generally asked: why doesn't Armenia recognize the independence
of Nagorno-Karabakh? We're holding negotiations, and recognizing
Nagorno-Karabakh would mean collapse of those negotiations. Anyway
negotiating is better," Armenian President said.
