The Karabakh conflict is the main military threat for Armenia, said
defense minister of the country Seyran Ohanyan, speaking at the 7th
Yerevan seminar on the program of Black Sea security of the Harward
university.

"The Karabakh conflict and absence of mutually coordinated political
and legal basis for the resolution of confrontation between the
conflict parties is a main military threat for Armenia", noted the
Minister.

He said that Azerbaijan’s policy, aimed at mobilization and arms race,
inclination towards the military supremacy over Armenia and resolution
of the Karabakh conflict in their interests with the use of military
powers creates the biggest concern.

Along with it, among other military threats Ohanyan called the policy
of isolation, conducted towards Armenia by two neighbor states,
destabilization of the atmosphere of security in the South Caucasus,
as well as the inciting of existing and new conflicts.
