"Armenia refused many beneficial economic projects in the South
Caucasus for the sake of Nagorno Garabagh," Armenian political
scientist Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan said, APA reports.

He stated that the possibility of war in Nagorno Garabagh does not
sound convincing.

"War with Azerbaijan is not expected soon. It means that Armenia must
find allies for future war. If we get prepared well, there will not be
a war. We must take into consideration the civilization of our allies,
because, only coincidences in civilization can guarantee success.

Armenians are easterners. We have good relations with western
countries, but it is not integration. Iran can be the best ally for
us despite religious difference. We also should not underestimate
the alliance with Russia, Syria, Belarus and Iraq," the political
scientist said. /APA/
