Azerbaijan is incapable to resolve Karabakh conflict, an Armenian
expert said.

"Instead of parrying Azerbaijan’s bellicose statements, Armenia should
threaten itself," Levon Shirinyan said during a joint news conference
with Turkologist Artak Shakaryan on May 3.

"Return of any liberated region would be equal to treason," he said.

Meanwhile, Artak Shakaryan didn’t support the suggestion to issue
threats. "Armenia has an image of a country standing for peaceful
resolution of conflicts. This distinguishes it from Turkey and
Azerbaijan. Militant statements can damage our strategic plans,"
he said.
