YEREVAN. – A full-scale war in Nagorno-Karabakh is currently impossible. Caucasus Institute Director, political scientist Alexander Iskandaryan stated the above-said at a press conference on Tuesday. He noted this in response to a query on the likelihood of the resumption of war as a result of Azerbaijan’s recent downing of a Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Air Force helicopter.

In his words, however, the situation definitely will get tenser.

“Different sharp reactions are possible from one side, then from the other side. But a full-scale war is impossible; wholly other conditions are needed for that,” Iskandaryan noted.

The analyst added that there is no one among the regional players who seriously wants a war.
