Territorial issues between the states are hardly ever resolved peacefully, according to Karabakh war commander, Major General Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan.

As Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan told a news conference in Yerevan, safety of Armenia and Karabakh is guaranteed by CSTO collective forces, which renders Azerbaijan or Turkey’s attack on Armenia unlikely.

Still, Major General did not preclude the probability of Azerbaijan’s provocations in NKR liberated territories. “We must be realistic. There’s a high possibility for a war, and this is the reason mediators actively promote the agreement on non-use of force. Negotiations are at standstill and despite OSCE MG statements, no progress is observed in conflict settlement,” the military expert noted.

As Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan emphasized, were the war start in Karabakh, it would be waged with the use of military equipment of new generation. Armenia is aware of Azerbaijan’s weak points, and, should necessity arise, will strike at its strategic objects, Major General concluded.
