However, these threats made the international community think over the seriousness of the situation in the Karabakh conflict zone,” Manvel Sargsyan told a press conference in Yerevan on April 7. “Witnessing the reaction of Armenia and world powers, Azerbaijan was forced to change tactics and ease tensions,” he said.
