“But the war may become real, if the United States, for example, or any other superpower pushes the parties toward this step.”
Armenian former deputy minister of National Security Gurgen Yegiazaryan commenting on the statement by director of the US National Reconnaissance,Dennis Blair, who said war between Armenia and Azerbaijan is possible has said: “I do not think that this statement gives grounds to think so.” He believes that despite Azerbaijan’s bellicose rhetoric, it is not threatening to grow into hostilities between the parties so far. “Such a statement proves West’s interest in acceleration of several processes in the South Caucasus,” he added.
Yegizaryan also said that we have already been in the state of instability for already 20 years in terms of conflicts in the Caucasus. “But the war may become real, if the United States, for example, or any other superpower pushes the parties toward this step,” Yegizaryan announced.
