Hay Dat: Azerbaijan realizes war would risk its oil interests

PanARMENIAN.Net - Director of the ARF bureau's Hay Dat and political affairs office Kiro Manoyan said the possibility of a new war in Karabakh is low at the moment.

As Kiro Manoyan told a news conference in Yerevan, Azerbaijan is likely to start a war in case Armenia-Turkey relations are settled or in case Baku is certain of its victory.

“At present, Azeri President is patient with the conflict settlement, realizing that a war would risk the interests of Baku where oil is concerned. A war is undesirable to conflicting parties, as well as the mediators,” Manoyan said, however, not ruling out the possibility of a war altogether.
