Rasim Musabekov: Russia presses on Georgia to rule the entire South Caucasus
The situation in the South Caucasus is not easy, according to an Azeri political scientist.
"Nevertheless, I think that Georgian and Russian leaders will be wise enough to prevent a tragedy," Rasim Musabekov said when commenting on recent tensions between the two countries.
Touching on Azerbaijan, he said, "These tensions have direct influence on Baku and use of force would be undesirable. Azerbaijan is in a better condition because Turkey will interfere in case of any aggression. Russia understands this and directs its pressure on Georgia to rule the entire South Caucasus. However, this scenario is pregnant with unpredictable consequences, first of all for Russia itself," he said, 1news.az reports.
