Russian expert rules out Karabakh war renewal by Armenia

PanARMENIAN.Net - The possibility of the renewal of Nagorno Karabakh war should not be exaggerated in the face of the balance of power that has remained unchanged for many years, Russian political expert said.

Alexander Krylov noted that Azerbaijan does its utmost to shift the situation in its favor, voicing skepticism over Armenia to initiate a new war with a neighbor like Turkey.

“Baku hopes for radical changes in the balance of power in terms of the situation in Iran. This will boost cooperation with the U.S., NATO and Israel, whilst harming ties with Moscow,” he said, adding that Russia currently stands against a military solution to Iran problem.

“Military solutions to problems in the face of foreign intervention and support to the opposition don’t contribute to problem settlement, on the contrary they create new ones,” he said, deeming renewal of Karabakh war hardly probable in view of the current balance of power and Armenia’s membership in CSTO, vesti.az reported.
