YEREVAN (ArmInfo)””The latest trends and events around the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict create an impression that Baku cannot realistically assess the important factors around the conflict said Vladimir Kazimirov, former Russian Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, in an interview.  

“In particular, the matter certainly concerns the price of a new possible conflict with the use of military force first of all for the people and naturally for the entire region, as well as the negative consequences of a new possible war amid the rather effective lessons of the Karabakh war of 1991-1994 and flaws of the previous leadership of Azerbaijan. It was the reluctance to stop the military actions as required by the UN Security Council’s resolutions and the revision of its own capacities that made Baku lose control over the 7 districts surrounding Karabakh,”
