"...this report will focus on the new Karabakh war possibility"

The International Crisis Group will publish the report on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in the middle of next week,  International Crisis Group Europe Program Director Sabine Freizer said.

"It is a report that will focus on the possibility of a new war between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh," Freizer told Trend.

The report is based on Crisis Group experts' research that has been carried out in Azerbaijan and Armenia. The group has been working on this report for four months.

"The main focus that we are looking at is increased ceasefire violations on the contact line, military budgets of both Armenia and Azerbaijan, and of course the failure of the Minsk Group facilitated talks to make progress," she said.

The International Crisis Group established in 1995 is reviewing the situations in various countries around the world. The Crisis Group regularly publishes reports on Nagorno-Karabakh.

The last report was released in 2009. The report that is going to be published now is a kind of follow-up report to that report of 2009, Freizer said.

The 2007 report - "Nagorno Karabakh: risking war" was devoted to finding ways to resolve the conflict and assess the likelihood of renewed hostilities in the area of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict.

The first two reports of the Crisis Group in 2005 over the Nagorno-Karabakh issue aroused great interest among the public of the conflicting parties.
