Russian political scientist Mark Urnov told Vesti.az news agency that
he does not see anything in horizon for Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict
as it is frozen now.
"Coming from my own views, I can say that each Armenian living in
Nagorno Karabakh will fight till their last drop of blood for their
Independence and it is obvious that Yerevan is not about to abdicate
them", said he.
Talking about opening of Stepanakert airport, he noted that if
Azerbaijan shoots down even the military planes then International
sanctions against Azerbaijan are not ruled out. "The world community
is tired of local conflicts. They are waiting only for peace from
the parties to the conflict. But even if one plane is shot down,
the reaction of the world 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 and added that in that case the positions
of Karabakh will get stronger.
Touching on possible war of the West against Iran and Azerbaijan's
participation in it, Urnov said that this war is hardly possible. "But
if to imagine this war starting and Azerbaijan's supporting the West,
one can hardly hope that the West will support Azerbaijan in the
matter of the Karabakh conflict settlement. Why does the West need
the second war with an obviously negative result?", - he asked.
