/PanARMENIAN.Net/ If Azerbaijan has not resumed hostilities against
Armenia, this is not owing to fear of someone’s blame, political
scientist Hrazdan Madoyan stated in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.

In his words, on one hand, if Baku had had even 50% confidence in
victory, it would not take into account the US or NATO. On the other
hand, possibly the US and NATO vetoed the war, maybe with strict
sanctions, up to division of the country and depriving Aliyev of power.

"Resumption of hostilities was probable in Georgia: ambitious and
fascist Saakashvili, who considered himself a messiah and did not
fulfill any of his promises, needs a small but winning war for a small,
but proud bird, sorry, I mean country. It will probably end in the
same way as previous ones. Then it is not ruled out that he may try
to recoup himself on Javakhk, with the same outcome probably. Georgia
in its current borders is less viable than Azerbaijan, Georgians have
neither Turks’ cruelty, nor their number," Madoyan underscored. He
remarked that "stopping artificial blood circulation, etc, the
country will be compressed to borders, which it is able to effectively
control." He is sure Georgia is surviving now by stirring up Turks
against Armenians, but this cannot take place endlessly. "It has no
oil or gas, then it is not interesting for the international community
on the whole," Madoyan said.
