S. FREIZER: THERE IS A WEAK CONTROL OF THE CEASE-FIRE LINE BY AZERBAIJAN AND ARMENIA AND ALMOST NO INTERNATIONAL MONITORING

Sabine Freizer, director of the Europe Program of the International
Crisis Group spoke about Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and expressed her
troubles over the issue. According to her there is a risk of war in
the region. Azerbaijani media inform about this.
"Clashes between Azerbaijan and Armenia that killed at least ten
soldiers this month risk escalating into all out war in a region",
she underlined.
As the international experts added there is a weak control of the
cease-fire line by Azerbaijan and Armenia and almost no international
monitoring: "Large-scale hostilities can break out accidentally,
as a result of tit-for-tat responses by the sides".
Frezier considers that neither Azerbaijan nor Armenia plans an all-out
military offensive in the short term: "If large-scale hostilities
resume, it will be a protracted war as neither side has a huge
advantage over the other. "It is also unclear how Russia and Turkey
will respond. They may be drawn in due to security guarantees they
have provided".
