Expert deems Karabakh war possible in face of security threats

Experts are inclined to overestimate the real explosive potential in Nagorno Karabakh conflict zone, Russian political analyst said.

According to Vitaly Trofimov, the regular provocations don’t bring about tangible complications at the contact line.

He noted the position of regional geopolitical actors, international developments and expertise as the factors worth considering when preventing the escalation of the conflict.

The expert further deemed Karabakh war possible in the face of serious factors posing threat to the regional security, such as launch of operations in Syria and Iran timed to escalation of global economic crisis.

“Even such incidents as the Safarov case are unlikely to bring about real escalation of the conflict,” News-Azerbaijan reported.
