YEREVAN. – Following Armenian, Azerbaijani and Russian presidents’
meeting in Kazan, likelihood of resumption of military hostilities
in Karabakh has not increase, Stepan Grigoryan, Head of the Center
for Globalization and Regional Cooperation, told a press conference
on Monday.

He stressed the intensification of Azerbaijan’s war-mongering
rhetoric is logical, as Baku’s expectations about the meeting were
not fulfilled.

“However, Baku will not dare to put its military threats into effect,
realizing the likelihood of a tough response of the international
community to the military action,” the expert emphasized.

According to him, Azerbaijan’s military rhetoric are intended for
domestic audience on the eve of elections, as Aliyev realizes Karabakh
dispute will complicate his chances in the upcoming elections.
