Hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh may resume this spring, Aleksandr Skakov of the Institute of Oriental Studies stated at the international conference on problems of the Caucasus and Caucasian studies in Yerevan.

According to him, the conflict may be escalated. However, “no one will allow the sides to war for more than 5-10 days”

Russia is most likely to introduce its peacemakers in case of such developments, the expert said.
