Yerevan (Yerkir) – Konstantin Zatulin, the director of the CIS
Institute, has said in an interview with the Russian Service of the
Voice of America that Azerbaijan will lose in economy and investments
in case of the military solution to the Karabakh conflict.

"Given the completely different views by Armenia and Azerbaijan on
the final results of the running negotiations, I can’t say if there
is another way for solving the conflict but the forced methods,"
said Konstantin Zatulin.

"If Azerbaijan’s government decides to enter the war to return those
lost territories, or as it calls them — ‘occupied territories’ —
then it can hardly be said of the successful end for this. At least,
it will lead to great economical problems and flow-out of investments
for which Azerbaijan is wishing for."
