"Hopefully, the escalation of tension on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border and on the line of contact of the Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijani troops will not result in large-scale military operations among Armenia, Azerbaijan and Karabakh," Dr. Alexander Tsinker, President of the Israel-based International Expert Center for Electoral Systems (ICES), told journalists.
"I think this happens because the OSCE Minsk Group is dong nothing or can do nothing even if it wants to. It is quite logical that if the process fails to move forward, the conflict may flare up," he said.
Dr.Tsinker also said that the parliamentary elections will be held in Azerbaijan on November 1 and the active anti-Armenian propaganda of Baku angers people because they see that the conflict remains unresolved.
"In the run-up to the elections, the ruling party is trying to show that it is ready to resolve the Karabakh conflict by all means, even in the military way. I think that if nothing serious happens before November 1, the tension will subside. But the current situation demonstrates that the OSCE MG should find a solution to the problem," said Tsinker. He stressed the need to find a compromise.
