Russia has no time for deep engagement in Karabakh conflict settlement

PanARMENIAN.Net - "It would be better to resolve the Nagorno Karabakh conflict in the framework of the CIS," said Russian State Duma member Oleg Kulikov.



"The only wayout for Azerbaijan and Armenia is to encourage integration processes, i.e. to establish closer ties at the post-soviet space and strengthen the CIS. Only a renewed post-soviet union will manage to resolve these problems," Oleg Kulikov said.



"There is a little chance for resolution of the Karabakh problem in the near future because it's gainful for outer forces. Russia is sincerely interested in settlement of the conflict but now it has more pressing issues to resolve - relations with Ukraine and Belarus, problem in the Islamic world, consolidation of the Afghan factor and fundamentalist factor in the North Caucasus," he said, Trend news agency reports.
