YEREVAN. - The Armenian side was wise to halt the April escalation in the Karabakh conflict zone, Israeli political scientist, pubic figure Avigdor Eskin told journalists Friday.

Touching on last year’s events, he noted: “I don’t possess full information on what happened there but I think we should all be grateful to Armenians for playing a very important role in stopping this. This is not only my opinion but also that of many of my colleagues in Israel. Indeed, the ability to show such wisdom wad demonstrated by the Armenian side.”
