ArmInfo. Azerbaijan is not ready for Karabakh conflict military solution scenario, Sergey Minasyan, the Caucasus Institute Deputy Director states his opinion.
"If Baku would be able to escalate the situation in Karabakh conflict zone, it would be more logical to don that before the elections, than after those. Meanwhile, the reality stated the opposite situation. I do not rule out that a serious impact was made also by the recent diversion attack of Azerbaijani troops, when Azerbaijan military forces lost at least 5 troops. This is confirmed also by Mammadyarov's and Lavrov's statement based on results of Moscow meeting," Minasyan said at the press conference in Yerevan on March 16.
According to him, an essential role is played also by Armenian side statements, which accentuated the readiness to increase the tense in the case of Azerbaijani escalation of the situation in the conflict zone. He mentioned also that Azerbaijanian military-political adventure could be hardly implemented.
