The information warfare between Armenia and Azerbaijan may grow into
an armed conflict, according to a Russian expert.
"Armenia and Azerbaijani are now waging information warfare. There
is a threat that the conflict may grow into a war," Alexander Vlasov,
the director of the Russian Centre for Post-Soviet Territory Research,
told the Azerbaijani news website 1news.az.
Asked about the possible timeframes for resuming the active talks
over the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement, the expert said the
negotiations may no longer continue in a trilateral format.
"Following the [presidential] meeting in Kazan, Moscow, Yerevan
and Baku have been imposing increasing demands on one another. So,
there's no need to escalate any tension as long as this psychological
dissatisfaction is maintained. But the question whether it is possible
to restart the Karabakh peace process is a completely different
matter. I think there is chance, though not a very big one. " Vlasov
noted further that the stalemate in the peace deal may last until
the beginning of next year.
"The European Union and Washington may have something to propose in
autumn or in early winter, but I am not sure that their proposals
will be better than those of Moscow," he added.
