"The possibility of war is not too big but there is danger, however,
and we should be ready for that danger", – said historian Armen
Karapetyan touching upon the possible resumption of the war in Artsakh.

As for the Armenian – Turkish relations he said that we should learn
a lesson from our history instead of saying "let’s sit and hold talks
with the Turks."

"The Turks are perfidious. The say one think but do totally different
thing", – the speaker stressed. He reminded that in 1896 in Van the
Turks gave a guarantee that the Armenians will leave to Persia safely
if they put the arms down, but they were cheated and reaching the
field of Khanasor died.

"Here is a classical example of Turks guarantee. This has been
repeated in our history for many times", – A. Karapetyan stressed
and added that we can bring many examples from the history when the
Turks have acted perfidiously not only with the Armenians but also
with the peoples whom they related.
