Nagorno-Karabakh conflict continues to be very strategically dangerous to
whole region, said Azerbaijan’s Ambassador to the US Elin Suleymanov.
"It is an unresolved conflict and continues to be very strategically dangerous to the whole region. The status quo is not sustainable. We don’t have peacekeepers. The soldiers are facing each other, sometimes just 100 feet apart,” Suleymanov told Fox News.
He noted that the potential for major escalation is always there.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
