"I do not rule out the re-start of hostilities in Nagorno Garabagh. But I think Azerbaijan will not take this step which might lead to its annihilation," said Arkadi Gukasyan, head of the separatist regime functioning in the occupied Azerbaijani territories.
The separatist leader said Karabakh people have got used to Baku threats, APA reports. "They want to threaten us by the increases in their defense expenditure by the account of oil revenues. However, this policy will not turn out efficient," Gukasyan said. The separatist leader stressed that if Azerbaijan starts war, the consequences will be sad for it. However, he does not think military way is the real solution of the problem. "Power states do not want unstable situation in the region because of the oil projects on which they spent great amount of funds. The Azerbaijani people do not want war either. I think it is abnormal to think of a new war. The experience showed that the Nagorno Karabakh conflict cannot be solved by military way," he underlined.
