Armenian MP: new war in Karabakh may grow into World War III June 23, 2011 - 12:19 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The chairman of the Armenian parliamentary standing committee on defense, national security and internal affairs, Hrayr Karapetyan, doesn’t exclude that a new war in Karabakh threatens to grow into the World War III. If no agreement is reached in Kazan, as anticipated by Karapetyan, the Minsk Group co-chair countries should enforce pressure on Azerbaijan, up to sanctions, in order to preclude possibility of hostilities. “Kazan meeting will show that Azerbaijan is not ready for peace and compromise,” the MP said, adding that the international community should also reprove Turkey, which does a disservice to Azerbaijan supporting its military rhetoric.
