The arms race in the Caucasus can prevent a new war between Armenian
and Azerbaijan, several experts believe.
The topic was discussed in the framework of the ‘Security in the
Caucasus’ conference held in the Moscow’s office of the Rosa Luxemburg
Foundation.
Addressing the assembled experts and reporters, Andrey Areshey,
the deputy director of the Strategic Culture Fund, said that arms
are delivered to Armenia and Azerbaijan by those very countries that
are co-chairs of the OSCE. Still, the balance of power makes a new
war improbable.
Felix Stanevsky, former Russian ambassador to Georgia, even said that
arms race is a positive trend as it can prevent new military conflict.
