A war between Armenia and Azerbaijan is inevitable, analyst Alexander Perenjiev of the Russian Association  of Military Political Scientists told Vesti.az.

“Why? First, [because] Nagorno-Karabakh, and also the territory between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh are under the control of official Yerevan. Second, the international institutions and the countries are weakening [their] influence on the peace process. [And] third, Azerbaijan constantly increases its military potential,” the analyst noted.    

In Perenjiev’s words, under such conditions, the chances of Azerbaijan waging a war after the 2014 Winter Olympics—which will be held in Sochi, Russia—are completely logical.
