Serzh Sargsyan: attempt to resolve Karabakh conflict by use of force will be fatal for Azerbaijan

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said the danger of war will persist unless a peace agreement is signed between the sides in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

However, he noted that resumption of hostilities is unlikely in Karabakh in the near future.

“The matter is that some officials in Baku have sunk in Armenophobic and warlike demagogy,” he said in an interview with RIA Novosti. “Any attempt to resolve the Karabakh conflict by use of force will be fatal for Azerbaijan. Such scenario may destabilize the region but not settle the conflict.”

“In short, I think hostilities are unlikely in the near future. But our armed forces stand ready for war,” President Sargsyan said.
