Political analyst: Situation in Armenia is tough amid new phase of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement

"At present, Armenia has bad relations with all its neighbors. Communications are closed. The country's debt amounts to $4,5 billion given the state budget worth $1.8 billion. Moreover, Armenia has very tense relations between Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians and Armenia's Armenians. "There is growing demographic crisis in the country," Ahmadoglu said.

Comparing the first and current phases of the conflict, the head of the center said that there were factors that ensured the victory of Armenia. Armenia was a very attractive republic for the West because it fulfilled its order for the collapse of the Soviet Union.

"The Spitak Earthquake was an excellent reason for the Armenians involved in the Nagorno- Karabakh conflict, finances, arms and human beings," he said.
