    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ "From time to time, Yerevan has to respond to Baku's
    growing militarism. In January, Armenian Defense Minister Mikael
    Harutyunyan shocked media by tough statements not peculiar to Armenian
    officials," said Sergei Markedonov, head of the international relations
    department of the institute of political and military analysis.

    "The Minister stated that he leads an army which is ready to defense
    and attack. He warned that Azerbaijan might lose another 20% of its
    territories and receive extra 2 million refugees in case it wages war,"
    Markedonov reminded.

    "The January tour of the OSCE mediators was interspersed
    with optimistic statements. They visited Baku, Yerevan and
    Stepanakert. Moreover, they participated in a monitoring of the
    contact line.

    Consequently, the Nagorno Karabakh conflict can't be described as
    'frozen'. There is dynamics but it's far from being positive," he
    said adding that the latest package proposed by the mediators is the
    best one they could ever develop, Politcom reports.
