Armenia’s Military potential in South Caucasus is traditionally rated high, political scientist at the Eastern Studies Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Skakov told Armenian News-NEWS.am. According to him in this context parity has developed between the armies of Armenia and Azerbaijan.

“It is known that Armenia’s military budget is much less than Azerbaijan’s. It is important to understand that today’s situation is different from the 90’s. The Armenian side should not rely on the experience of previous years too much, the balance has changed,” the expert mentioned.

According to Skakov due to that parity Baku understands that the scenario of the Karabakh blitzkrieg is yet unrealizable. But he also mentioned that if Baku were to be sure that they would be able to take over Nagorno-Karabakh in 2 weeks then this version of developments would be quite possible. However, the expert pointed out that currently the above mentioned scenario is not real.

“But what will happen after 5, 10 years?” the expert concluded the interview with a question.
