Armenia should liberate territories surrounding Nagorno Karabakh and Karabakh itself should be given international guarantees of security, Polish senator (member of parliament’s upper chamber), head of the Polish-Armenian friendship group Lukash Abgarovic said.
The Polish senator says the fact that Azerbaijani regions surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh are controlled by Armenia is unacceptable for international community expressing confidence that the Karabakh issue will be resolved through referendum in 10 years.
"This conflict must be resolved, because after several years Azerbaijan’s army expenditures will enable Baku to crush Armenia with tanks in three months without any other assistance," the senator said.
The senator believes without Russia’s help, Armenia will have no chance in a confrontation with Azerbaijan.
“Therefore, the conflict should be resolved in a way that the Karabakh issue will not be linked with the Armenia-Turkey normalization. Stabile relations between Yerevan and Baku are a key to a peace in the South Caucasus,” he added.
Abgarovich says, that today prospect of war in Karabakh seems improbable, but this can happen in the longer term. Armenia's security still depends on Russia to a large extent. If Moscow considers economic cooperation with Azerbaijan more important, it may simply not support Armenia in the event of an attack by Azerbaijan, senator added.
