A fresh war over Nagorno-Karabakh would be dangerous for Azerbaijan
anytime in the near future, Azerbaijani political analysts Ilgar
Mamedov has said.
Speaking to the Azerbaijani news website SalamNews, Mamedov said
that Azerbaijan's political and economic advantage over Armenia will
increase significantly in the near future.
"Azerbaijan's population is on the increase, while Armenia's is on
the decrease. For that reason the Armenians may, together with Russia,
unleash a war. That war will be dangerous for Azerbaijan if it starts
in the near future," explained Mamedov.
Further, he said that if French President Nicolas Sarkozy's visit to
region does not solve the Karabakh conflict, it will at least diminish
chances Armenia will unleash a fresh war.
Mamedov also said that Armenia will attempt to create political and
economic problems for Azerbaijan.
"Armenia's official and non-official circles are making statements
that Azerbaijan is gathering strength rapidly. Those statements are
aimed at involving Azerbaijan into the conflict," said he.
"But Azerbaijan is doing its best to solve the conflict in a peaceful
way," Mamedov added.
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict sparked in the early 1990s when Karabakhi
Armenians voiced their intention to live independently.
Later, tensions spiralled into pogroms against Armenians in Sumgait,
Baku and Nagorno Karabakh that turned into a bloody war, leaving
around 30,000 killed and more than a million displaced.
Currently the peace talks over the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict are
spearheaded by the co-chair states of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia,
France and the United States.
