ArmInfo. "Fighting could flare between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the
disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh," the U.S. intelligence official
touches upon Nagorno-Karabakh conflict during the open Hearing on
"Current and Projected Threats to the United States" on February 2.

Thus, Director of National Intelligence Dennis C. Blair told the US
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that although there has been
progress in the past year toward Turkey-Armenia rapprochement, this
has affected the delicate relationship between Armenia and Azerbaijan,
and increases the risk of a renewed conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh,
he said.
