    SYNDROME OF POWDER KEG

    Serge Sargsyan's speech in Chatham House was interpreted differently.

    Many saw it as the embodiment of his own thoughts, particularly people
    of Karabakh, who liked the fact that in London at the highest level
    was said: "Karabakh considers that it was able to restore justice
    impaired in Stalin's years and to create normal living conditions".

    Others liked the fact that "we hate war with all our heart". But much
    in this speech has caused mixed feelings.

    And most importantly - it rather confirmed than excluded the
    possibility of war. However, Serge Sargsyan does not advise to resort
    to war, especially to "big investors", but says that "Armenia and
    Karabakh have not started the war and they are never going to start
    it, but we understand that we must be prepared for war".

    Karabakh has been frightened by the ghost of a war for already 16
    years. 16 years of life on a "powder keg" which every moment is
    ready to explode. The psychology of people of Karabakh is said to
    be yet examined by scholars, perhaps there will even be something
    phenomenal in it. After all, not everyone can live, build, furnish
    an apartment, build business and serve in the army of a country
    where the war always scares. Moreover, they consider it their duty
    to assure that these threats are not idle. Karabakh seems to have
    got the immune of the syndrome of "powder keg". People even joke:
    buying expensive furniture, they do not ask about its quality, but
    about projections of the political situation. Like, will the price be
    compensated before the escalation of the situation? Many even claim
    that the information vacuum in which the Karabakh society is driven
    is very helpful - fewer threats are heard.

    Although everything, of course, is much more serious.
