Leading research scientist of the Institute of World Economy and
International Relations, Mr. Alexander Krylov said that Azerbaijan
will not unleash a new war in Karabakh.

"Baku has been making bellicose statements since 1995, in an attempt
to frighten Armenia, so that it withdraws from Karabakh," Krylov told
a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

"Azerbaijan’s expectations are not understandable. As for ‘return of
territories’, this issue is not discussed. No Armenian President would
sign a suicidal document on transfer of territories," he stressed.

Commenting on the Armenian-Turkish normalization, Krylov noted that the
key actors are interested in it. "It is not just an American project,
as many people think of it. Russia, Europe and Turkey are interested
as well," he said.

"However, in my opinion, this process has proceeded in a wrong way
from the very beginning – the parties should have resolved all issues
prior to signing the Protocols," Krylov concluded.

"Azerbaijan will be entirely isolated, if it resumes hostilities. Even
Turkey will not reach a helping hand and Baku is well aware of it,"
he concluded.
