Problem of Nagorno Karabakh not to be solved without U.S and RF

PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijan's and Armenia's approximation in talks over the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh problem can be possible if RF and U.S. have a hand in the process, said Azeri political scientist Rasim Musabekov.



"We should not expect that the sides can reach an accord by themselves. Russia has its own interests in that area and we don't know what Moscоw will require. Conditions, offered by Russia related to assisting to the conflict settlement are not acceptable for Baku yet: in particular, their call to stifle Georgia together with Moscow and to put under Gasprom's control our energy industry. It means we are offered to return into the area of Russian influence. This is not acceptable yet, but we will see in future," Musbekov said.



During his speech the president of Russia Vladimir Putin did not hide his displeasure by Azerbaijan's policy. Therefore, Moscow will not oppress Armenia at all. Russia is dissatisfied with two things: participation of Azerbaijan in NATO exercises in Georgia and Baku's support of the Nabucco project. Azerbaijan is played with in anticipation when it will fulfill the requirements of Russia," Musabekov said.
