No one can guarantee the complete absence of the possibility of a new war, but at present that possibility is very small. This was stated by Artsakh Foreign Minister David Babayan.
The Minister stressed that a large-scale attack on Armenia would mean an attack on the CSTO and simply could not go unnoticed. “We saw the recent events in Kazakhstan and the CSTO’s response. And in the event of an attack on Armenia, there would be a response at least from the Russian side, especially if Turkey were to join. As for the possibility of an attack on Karabakh, peace and stability are maintained by the Russian peacekeepers. An attack on Artsakh would automatically mean an attack on the Russian peacekeepers and on Russia. That would be a different kind of war. It would not be a war between Azerbaijan and Artsakh and Armenia. I do not think Azerbaijan does not understand that.”
“If in Kazakhstan the terrorists and Pan-Turkists had managed to achieve their goal, then the likelihood of war would have been 100 percent. Now the likelihood is small,” said the Minister.
