/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Till recently the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan
preferred to avoid sharp statements that can provoke greater tension
between the republics. The silence was broken by Ilham Aliyev who
did not rule out resumption of hostilities against Armenia is the
Karabakh conflict is not settled.
Moreover, he voiced assurance that Azerbaijan will gain a victory in
the "second stage of the war," says Moskovskie Novosti newspaper.
According to the authors, Aliyev from time to time makes "shocking"
statements on Karabakh. "Azerbaijan that was actually defeated by
Armenia craves to win the ongoing information war, realizing that the
Karabakh problem will not be settled in the near future. Baku rattles
sabers against the background of cooling relations with Moscow that
keeps on strengthening ties with Armenia. Over a number of reasons
Azerbaijan is not interested in complete breakup with Russia. The
matter first of all concerns Baku's possible participation in the
North-South project. The only negative point here is the discontent
of Washington which tries to gain revenge playing on the complex
relationship between the South Caucasian states and Russia. It's
another matter that some lobbyists in the U.S. hamper implementation
of the railway project meant to connect Turkey and Azerbaijan through
Georgia. If the Kars-Akhlkalaki-Baku project is implemented Armenia
will face severe economic blockage. Obviously, the construction plans
conflict with Russia's interests as well," says the article titled
"The Transcaucasian armwrestling."
