Moscow tries to act godfather for Yerevan and Baku

PanARMENIAN.Net - "The predominant opinion in Baku is that Armenians held victory in Karabakh war thanks to Russia. That's why, following the August war in Transcaucasus, Azerbaijan was seeking Moscow's support," expert Armen Aghayan told a news conference in Yerevan. However, the speaker was strongly convinced that "Russia will never coerce Armenia into making any concessions with regard to Karabakh issue."



According to him Moscow is now trying "to strengthen and re-build bridges" with CIS states, and Armenia and Azerbaijan do not have equal importance for it in that sense. "After signing the Minedorf Declaration, Russia is trying to act as godfather for Yerevan and Baku," the expert stressed.
