Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said the danger of war will persist
unless a peace agreement is signed between the sides in the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict.

However, he noted that resumption of hostilities is unlikely in
Karabakh in the near future.

"The matter is that some officials in Baku have sunk in Armenophobic
and warlike demagogy," he said in an interview with RIA Novosti. "Any
attempt to resolve the Karabakh conflict by use of force will be
fatal for Azerbaijan. Such scenario may destabilize the region but
not settle the conflict."

"In short, I think hostilities are unlikely in the near future. But
our armed forces stand ready for war," President Sargsyan said.
