Recently, the probability of war between Armenia and Azerbaijan
increased dramatically, political expert Yervand Bozoyan told NEWS.am.

According to him, three year ago he did not rule out the resumption of
hostilities, considering the economic upturn in the country, foreign
policy course and other factors. However, significant changes have
taken place since then.

"As a rule, wars break out when one of the sides feels stronger. In
the present circumstances of &’cold war’ Azerbaijan feels that way,"
Bozoyan said adding if Armenia makes concessions on the "cold war,"
it may run into a hot war.

"If Azerbaijan feels that Armenia makes concessions on foreign policy,
economy and other fields, being unable to oppose the pressure by
Turkey, U.S., and Russia, as well as suffering a setback in all realms,
the risk of war will undoubtedly increase," he concluded.
