Vardan Khachatryan: Aliyev might be caught in his own trap

The only scenario enabling resumption of hostilities in Karabakh may occur in case Azeri people resolve to turn words, prompted by military rhetoric, into actions, an Armenian MP said.

“In this case, Azerbaijani President Aliyev might be caught in his own trap. Should hostilities resume, the war will last 5 days at most,” Heritage party member Vardan Khachatryan told a news conference in Yerevan.

“Armenia is ready for a possible war,” Khachatryan said, adding that Baku’s sudden attack, which could claim lives of NKR civilians, is the only reason behind Armenia’s concern.
