Any Military Option Will Be Calamity for Azerbaijan: Serzh Sargsyan

The threat of the resumption of military actions has always been felt in the air and it will remain until peace and stability are established in the region, until a functioning peace deal is signed over the Nagorno-Karabakh conflicting sides, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said in an interview with RIA Novosti news agency.

Asked whether he considered it probable that the military actions could resume in the conflict zone, Sargsyan said that any attempt to solve the conflict through military actions would be an adventurous step and might turn into a calamity for Azerbaijan.

“Such a development may destabilize the region for a long term, create new points of tension, but will in no way resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

“To cut it short, the answer to your question is: No, I do not see any war threat in the near future. But I have always said that our military forces must always be ready with the presumption that the military actions may begin just tomorrow,” said Sargsyan.
