The war in Nagorno-Karabakh could resume at any time.
The statement came from Director of the Centre for Strategic Studies
(SAM) Farhad Mammadov said at a press briefing held in the CSS,
answering journalists' questions about when military operations related
to the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict can resume.
According to him, this is related to the lack of physical obstacles
from third party, which could prevent the resumption of hostilities.
"Azerbaijani officials have repeatedly spoken on this issue.
Representatives of our government also declare that they will wait
until February 2013 [presidential elections in Armenia], after which
they intend to intensify the negotiating process," said the head of
the SAM.
On the other hand, according to Mammadov, Armenia has attempted to
change the borders of the Azerbaijan Republic by military intervention.
"It is the right of every sovereign state to use weapons to protect
its territorial integrity," he said.
