PanARMENIAN.Net – Military intervention into Iran can affect Karabakh
conflict resolution, said Guner Ozkan, expert on security issues
in the Caucasus and Caspian regions with Ankara-based International
Strategic Research Organization.

He said NATO’s possible intervention into Iran is much spoken of
recently. “In case there is a military intervention into Iran, it
will definitely affect the current developments in South Caucasus,”
Ozkan noted.

In any case, Russia has its interest in Karabakh conflict settlement,
he said. “If new conflicts emerge in this region, and they are
directly linked to Russia, there will be progress in Karabakh conflict
resolution; Russia does not want Karabakh conflict to be settled now
because it wants to maintain control over South Caucasus,” Salamnews
quoted the expert as saying.
