In recent comments to the paper,Moscow-based political analysts addressed Russia’s position on the peace process over Nagorno-Karabakh, ruling out any bias stemming from the country’s weapons sale to Azerbaijan.
“Russia spares no effort to retain maximum aloof from the conversations over Russian-Azerbaijani transactions - something Azerbaijan has been attempting to feign for quite a long period. Russia never misses the occasion to insist, and on the level of its president,foreign minister and the Armenian ambassador to Russia, that it acts in concert with the other co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group whose key focus at the moment is to rule out an escalation, and ” Stanislav Tarasov,a columnist for the regional news agency Regnum, said, and describing the statement issued after recent talks in Moscow as a sobering slap for Azerbaijan.
According to Alexander Skakov,a coordinator at the Eurasian Research middle, the statement was intended simultaneously for several addressees. The West, or Russia,Belarus and Kazakhstan will draw conclusions from the statements. The clause regarding [Nagorno-]Karabakh was also important as it reflected the Armenian and Russian presidents’ joint position on the deployment of security mechanisms. There was a wrong impression that Armenia and the United States own their interests,” he said.
