LEVON MELIK-SHAKHNAZARYAN: "IF THE GARABAGH WAR IS RESUMED, IT WILL LEAD TO TERMINATION OF AZERBAIJAN"

Today, Azerbaijan

If the war in Garabagh is resumed, it will either be immediately
stopped by external powers or lead to termination of Azerbaijan,
Levon Melik-Shakhnazaryan said.

He also noted that such scenario is undesired and added that the
resumption of the Garabagh war is highly unlikely.

He said the possibility of such development of events is low, as none
of the regional countries is interested in this war.

In this sense, Melik-Shakhnazaryan also noted that various unforeseen
situations including clashes between Turkey and Iraq or United States
and Iran may develop in the whole region.

"These [the situations] may pass borders and create turmoil in the
whole region", he considers.
