The statement of Azeri permanent representative to UN, claiming Azeri positions were fired at from both Karabakh and Armenia territories, suggests that if renewed, the war won't be restricted to Artsakh, also spreading over to Armenia, according to a political analyst.

As Sergey Minasyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, should Baku restart a war, Armenia has Russia as a strategic ally as well as CSTO to rely on, which makes the outcome rather predictable. “In all probability, the hostilities won't be restricted by a conflict zone, which makes the involvement of third parties possible.”

The expert, however, was sceptical over Turkey's involvement, in view of the latter’s NATO membership. “Beside, Turkey should think twice before standing up to a nuclear superpower Russia is,” the expert concluded.
