I am an Azeri, but must confess that the Armenian side did the right thing for not signing the deal. They were being asked to give up the adjacent districts while being promised in exchange something very vague (future referendum on status, at SOME point in the future). Whether or not this refusal causes a war that is a different topic. &quot;But from Armenian point of view, if the war starts, ok, I might lose these districts. Or I might not. But they are asking me to lose them now for sure. I will take my chances with a war, which may or may not start.&quot;

As for the war, rest assured that our government will not start it. They are afraid to lose their power and their families lavish lifestyles. Instead, they will pretend to our public that they care about Karabak. And negotiations will continue until Azeris forget about Karabak or Armenia runs out of Armenians (due to emigration due to tough econmic situation, which the conflict with Azerbaijan is augmenting).
