The great powers do not want the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to be
settled, MP from the Republican Party of Armenia Khosrov Harutyunyan
said during public debates on the Nagorno-Karabakh problem organized
by the Caucasus Institute in Yerevan on Friday.
"For them this conflict is a means to preserve or even enlarge their
presence in the region. Unless they were so groundlessly indifferent,
Azerbaijan would not be so active in its military rhetoric. Whenever
they react they urge both conflicting parties to be peaceful even
though Armenia does not make such militarist statements. If actually
interested in peace in Nagorno-Karabakh, they would have long imposed
economic sanctions on Azerbaijan and even on Armenia. But as long
as they are passive, Azerbaijan will be actively building up its
armaments and will be inciting Armenia to do the same. The Azeris want
to lead us to an economic crisis, like the United States once did to
the USSR. I don't think that this will be good for the great powers,
whom the Azeris keep blackmailing with a new war," Harutyunyan said.
