YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 5, ARMENPRESS: Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is in
"frozen" phase and there is no prospect for the resolution in near
future. As reports Armenpress, this was noted by Mark Urnov, Russian
political scientist, in the interview with vesti.az. "Azerbaijan
wants to take NKR under its jurisdiction, while Nagorno-Karabakh and
Armenia will never come up with it," he underlined.
Referring to the exploitation of Stepanakert airport, he noted
that if Azerbaijan shoots down even a military plane, Azerbaijan
will certainly face punishment. "International community is tired of
local conflicts. It is waiting only for peace from the parties of the
conflict. If Azerbaijan strikes even a single airplane, the reaction
of international community will be not simply negative but extremely
harsh. I do not rule out international sanctions against Azerbaijan.
As a result, Azerbaijan risks to get a label of an aggressor,"Urnov
said.
Touching on possible war of the West against Iran and Azerbaijan's
participation in it, Urnov said "This is hardly possible. But in
case it starts and Azerbaijan's supports the West, one can hardly
hope that the West will support Azerbaijan in the matter of the
Karabakh conflict settlement. West doesn't need the second war with
an obviously negative result,"Urnov noted.
