"I think that there is such probability for I cannot understand why Azerbaijan protracts the negotiation process. Probably, there are plans with accumulation of more forces and armament to try to unleash a new military aggression at a well-chosen moment," the president said.
He said that it is a wrong approach because two scenarios of developments are possible.
"First - total war and further occupation of Nagorny Karabakh, which is possible only after total annihilation of the Nagorny Karabakh people. And second - defeat of Azerbaijan and lost of new territories. Then Azerbaijan will start complaining for the loss of another five, six or more regions. And what then? Again ceasefire, treaties, ceasefire breaches, new war: None of these scenarios have perspectives," Sargsyan said.
He added that in case of new hostilities Armenia will really recognize NKR.
"Another more direct question is often asked: Why doesn't Armenia recognize independence of Nagorny Karabakh? Because we are negotiating and recognition will break the negotiations. It is better continuing the negotiations," the president said.
