YEREVAN. - Following Armenian, Azerbaijani and Russian presidents’ meeting in Kazan, likelihood of resumption of military hostilities in Karabakh has not increase, Stepan Grigoryan, Head of the Center for Globalization and Regional Cooperation, told a press conference on Monday.
He stressed the intensification of Azerbaijan’s war-mongering rhetoric is logical, as Baku’s expectations about the meeting were not fulfilled.
“However, Baku will not dare to put its military threats into effect, realizing the likelihood of a tough response of the international community to the military action,” the expert emphasized.
According to him, Azerbaijan’s military rhetoric are intended for domestic audience on the eve of elections, as Aliyev realizes Karabakh dispute will complicate his chances in the upcoming elections.
