ADP: Azerbaijan's war preparations -open secret
"The statement of US Deputy Assistant Secretary, Tina S. Kaidanow on the possibility of Washington's recognizing NKR independence in case Baku renews hostilities, is partially true, despite the fact it was disproved later," Armenian Democratic Party Leader Aram Sargsyan told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter at news conference in Yerevan.

"Statements similar to that of Kaidanow are always disproved, still they're sent up like trial balloons to assess the reaction," Aram Sargsyan believes. "Azerbaijan's war preparations is an open secret. This is what increased armament purchases suggest. Still USA's bitter experience in Iraq and Afghanistan proves the country's being opposed to hostilities renewal along the contact line between Armenia and Azerbaijan, as the process will be impossible to stop. Should the war unleash in Karabakh, most serious consequences are to be expected, as in contrast to previous war, this time it won't be restricted to NKR only," Sargsyan emphasized.
