A new Azerbaijani-Armenian war over Nagorno-Karabakh war would be
disastrous for the whole region, according to Dr. Burcu Gultekin
Punsmann, a senior foreign-policy analyst at the Turkish think
tank TEPAV.
"I would, however, doubt that [Azerbaijani] President [Ilham]
Aliyev could have seriously considered undertaking such a hazardous
action," she said. "I can’t try to assess a military outcome of a
new Azerbaijani-Armenian war over Nagorno-Karabakh; the worst thing
in such a situation is always to underestimate the enemy."
"Beyond a doubt, Azerbaijan is the country that has benefited the
most from the return of stability to the South Caucasus region in the
second half of the 1990s. With the resumption of war, energy investment
projects will stop overnight. There will be no winner of this war,"
Hurriyet Daily News cited Dr. Burcu Gultekin Punsmann as saying.
