Stepanakert , 18 July: "I do not believe that there are objective
grounds for resuming hostilities in the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict
zone," the president of the Nagornyy Karabakh republic, Arkadi
Ghukasyan, told journalists today.

He said that at the moment there are no political, moral, historical
or other reasons for resuming hostilities. "Of course, none of us can
rule out the possibility of a resumption of the hostilities. We have
to deal with an unpredictable country in which words and actions are
not always consistent. Belligerent statements made by the Azerbaijani
leadership can lead to negative consequences. A war can be started
when there is an absolute confidence in success. Azerbaijan does not
have this confidence," the Nagornyy Karabakh president said.
