Oxford Analytica Centre: "Probability of war increases"
Armenian MPs are not serious about the publications of Oxford Analytica Centre which said that the continuing ceasefire violations along the contact line between Karabakh and Azerbaijani armed forces increase the probability of war.
"I do not think that hostilities might resume in the nearest future, given the equilibrium of forces. Both Armenian and Karabakh forces are ready to take retaliatory measures. The second important factor is that Azerbaijan would not like to lose the dollars received from oil," Heritage Party MP Armen Martirosyan told A1+.
His colleague Larisa Alaverdyan continued saying that similar studies serve as a touchstone and aim to test the reaction of the government and public.
"The whole world knows about Azerbaijan's belligerent statements. All Azerbaijan's attacks on Armenia ended in disgraceful defeats. Most of Azerbaijan's borders and territories do not belong to the country according to the international law.
The ARF-Dashnaktsutyun is not concerned over the center's publications either.
"Our main privilege over Azerbaijan is our army and the lesson we gave to Azerbaijanis. It is this privilege that helps us suppress Azerbaijan," secretary of the ARF-Dashnaktsutyun faction Artyusha Shahbazyan told A1+.
