Washington will not act to prevent a military settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Argumenti Nedeli writes, referring to its sources. The U.S. Administration gave Azerbaijani President carte-blanche to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh problem.

The author believes that Washington is not against a military settlement of the problem. However, it must be done “with a lightning speed” similar to how Croatia resolved the problem of Serbian Krajina and how Georgia attempted to gain victory in a conflict with South Ossetia. In exchange, the U.S. demands that Azerbaijan provide its territory as “a springboard for attack” on Iran.

However, Aliyev is still hesitating. He is afraid the operation may have a bad end for Azerbaijan. It may be a blow on the political situation in the country, as well as on him.
