ArmInfo. The April War has frozen the militarist sentiments of Azerbaijan on the Nagoeno-Karabakh conflict, Philip Gamaghelyan, Co-Founder of the Imagine Center for Conflict Transformation, told VoA.
In his words, after the four-day war in April, the probability of large-scale war has decreased. The April hostilities showed that it is impossible to settle the conflict by forces. Consequently, Azerbaijan will hardly attempt to unleash another aggression, Gamaghelyan said.
Richard Kauzlarich, the former U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan, in turn, agreed with Gamaghelyan saying that the April events have made mutual concessions impossible for the near future. According to the diplomat, the Karabakh conflict is on a perilous track, after April. The countries are in the state of netiehr war nor peace. Ambassador Kauzlarich believes that the conflicting sides made sure that the armed fight is the only way to maintain their positions, both inside and outside their countries. In his words, war in the Karabakh conflict zone is unlikely in winter, but the coming spring may bring a dangerous situation along with it.
