Vladimir Zhirinovsky is not entitled to express the official stand of Russia, stated Temporary Charge d'Affaires of Russia in Azerbaijan Peter Burdykin when commenting on the statement of Vladimir Zhirinovsky over the opportunity of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic accession to the CIS. As emphasized by Burdykin, Zhirinovsky's words merely represent the opinion of one of the deputies of the State Duma of Russia. In Burdykin's opinion, Zhirinovsky regularly makes such statements "to attract attention to himself."
