A new war in Nagorno Karabakh may break out any moment, the director of the Center for Strategic Studies under the Azerbaijani President said.

As Farhad Mammadov told a news conference, “the absence of the third force between the conflicting parties stimulates conditions for a resumption of a war.”

As he noted, Azerbaijan has never ruled out the use of force in restoring its “territorial integrity,” which he claimed is a “natural right” of the country.

Such statements prove that Azerbaijan is repeatedly ignoring the urges of international mediators and champions of the peaceful settlement of Karabakh conflict, while blaming Armenia for stalling peace talks.
