A war is inevitable in Nagorno-Karabakh, Heydar Jamal, Chairman of the Islamic Committee of Russia (ICR), stated in an interview with Day.az, commenting on the OSCE Summit in Astana.

“The Summit shows the public at large, which is unaware and waiting for miracles. A war is inevitable in the South Caucasus. And no mediators are proposing any other game,” Jamal said.

According to him, the United States, without discrediting itself, is “rubbing its hands” in expectation of war. “By observing in silence, the U.S. is only leading all the side to the stalemate of general confrontation. In its turn, Europe, for which such a scenario is tantamount to death, cannot do anything. Its political potential is small as never before,” Jamal said.

As regards prospects for settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in 2011, he said that “big politics has no right to waste time, one more year, because the crisis is not over yet.”

“I think that Baku’s present-day policy may mean most serious preparations for a conflict to resolve it with one blow, staking the nation’s future. I am sure the international community will be observing the conflict, without interfering. Our task is to do everything quickly, without allowing the international imperialist forces on Armenia’s side to interfere. The problem must be resolved for the world to be faced with accomplished fact. It is inevitable,” Jamal said.
