 “I think, there are probabilities to resume an armed conflict, since I can by no means understand why Azerbaijan delays the negotiations,” President Serzh Sargsyan has answered to “Moscow News” question if the risk to resume military activities is great. According to him probably accumulating great resources and means, they anticipate for a moment to provoke a military adventure.

“It’s not a right approach, since the events can have two developments. First, a total war and occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh, which is possible only after massacre of NK people, and second, defeat of Azerbaijan, loss of new territories. In this case, Azerbaijan will protest for the loss of other five, six or more lands. And what’s then? Another treaty, ceasefire deal, violations and war…All those scenarios have no prospects.”

To the question if the appearance of two new states in South Caucasus will have any impact on the resolution of Karabakh conflict, S. Sargsyan has noticed that Karabakh conflict differs from all those other conflicts.

“Generally all those conflicts are unique, each of them has its reasons, consequences and the dynamics. As a precedent model, surely, appearance of news states contributes to the international understanding of the right of NK people.”

Referring to the recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh by Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan noticed that Armenia makes similar remarks.
“It can happen when military activities resume. More direct question is generally asked: why doesn’t Armenia recognize the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh? We’re holding negotiations, and recognizing Nagorno-Karabakh would mean collapse of those negotiations. Anyway negotiating is better,” Armenian President said.
