Armenian political scientist Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan: "As soon as Azerbaijan is aware that it surpasses us in the military sense, it will not hesitate a second"

"The issue of Nagorno Karabakh conflict can only be settled by use of force, which neither party will be allowed to do until economic importance of Azerbaijan gas and oil is preserved", said he on Monday.

He considers that such situation may last until 2023-2025, when Azerbaijani oil reserves are exhausted.

"Only after that the issue can be settled though not by a desired way. Until that there will be imitation of talks-the issue, which everyone knows can not be settled by way of negotiations will be debated at the table", said Melik-Shahnazaryan.

Expert considers that the stronger Armenia is in military sense, the better it will be ensured from the start of war.

He is confident that currently the military potential of Armenia is equal and in some issues even surpasses Azerbaijan's.

"Yet, Azerbaijan is actively developing at the cost of oil and we should not be idle and we should actively develop", said the political scientist.

"As soon as Azerbaijan is aware that it surpasses us in military sense, I am sure it will not hesitate a second", concluded he.
