Constant subversive actions by Azerbaijan are not uncommon especially
in summers. However, at the given tense moment I do not rule out
a new Armenian-Azerbaijani war. It is necessary to avoid war, but
never be afraid of it, says Karen Kocharyan, an expert in political
technologies. He told media Thursday that third countries are involved
in the aggravation of tension on the border. In particular, Turkey
is directly involved in Azerbaijan's subversive actions against
Armenia. As regards CSTO's interference in case if the conflict grows
hot, it is not ruled out either, he said.
"I think that the Armenian Army is ready for war given that the Armed
Forces of Armenia are combat efficient and CSTO is always with the
country," Kocharyan said.
As regards regional problems, the expert said that everything inside
the country directly depends on external regional factors. Not only the
possible war in Iran but also general destabilization in the region,
in particular, in Syria, will affect Armenia.
"If we come out against Iran in case of war, we will find ourselves
in a very bad situation. If we support Iran and war begins, we will
find ourselves in a bad situation," Kocharyan said.
