Azerbaijan is incapable to resolve Karabakh conflict, an Armenian expert said.

“Instead of parrying Azerbaijan’s bellicose statements, Armenia should threaten itself,” Levon Shirinyan said during a joint news conference with Turkologist Artak Shakaryan on May 3.

“Return of any liberated region would be equal to treason,” he said.

Meanwhile, Artak Shakaryan didn’t support the suggestion to issue threats. “Armenia has an image of a country standing for peaceful resolution of conflicts. This distinguishes it from Turkey and Azerbaijan. Militant statements can damage our strategic plans,” he said.
