Former Artsakh Prime Minister Arman Melikyan said that Baku will pull out all the stops to resolve the Karabakh issue in its favor within the next five years.

Melikyan says that Azerbaijan’s oil reserves will start getting depleted by then.

The analyst, who hinted at a possible presidential run next year inArmenia, said Yerevan must choose sides in terms of international allies given that the region faces potentially huge instability risks.

Melikyan pointed to Russia, Iran and partiallyTurkey as nations to which Armenia must look as bastions of stability.
