Forecast: Resuming of April 2016 in Karabakh unavoidable 

ArmInfo.Resuming of April 2016 in Karabakh is unavoidable. Such an opinion was stated by Vladimir Evseev, the CIS countries Caucasus Institute deputy director, while delivering a speech at the round table session dedicated to South Caucasus  Security, held in Yerevan recently. 

"In time, yet a semester prior to April aggression of Azerbaijan, I  had forecasted a pretty similar scenario.  At that time, due to a  number of reasons and preconditions, I had a strong feeling of war.  To my regret, this feeling is still inside of me. Especially within  the military rhethorics being heat up and, as the main, the actions  initiated by Baku at the contact line," the expert stressed. 

Within the factors and actions, generating a feeling of upcoming war,  Evseev accentuated the attempt of Azerbaijani troops to destroy the  missile unit of NKR Defense Army. Permanent cannonades of Karabakh  positions and diversions implemented by Azerbaijani is another proof  of that. 

Of course, the military balance, disturbed by the end of April last  year, looks to be recovered, the proof of which is the Iskander M  missile units set on combat duty in Armenia. Also I would accentuate  the implementation of attack drons by Armenian militaries, which in  general turned something new. 

"Guess there is no other option for Armenia and especially for  Nagorno Karabakh in visible future.  Especially within Ilham Aliev  being not ready and not willing to go for compromises in respect to  the Karabakh conflict settlement," military expert summarized.
