Azeri-Russian Confrontation at Root of Karabakh Conflict

AZERI-RUSSIAN CONFRONTATION AT ROOT OF KARABAKH CONFLICT

YEREVAN, JULY 27. ARMINFO. A confrontation between Azerbaijan and
Russia lies at the root of the Karabakh conflict. Russia wants
Azerbaijan to capitulate, says politologist Vafa Guluzade in his
article Battle for the South Caucasus in Zerkalo.

The analysis of the events in the Caucasus gives the impression of the
US’ victory and Russia’s defeat. But since the USSR collapse Russia
has outwitted American in some crucial questions not only making
Washington dependant but also forcing it to serve its interests. One
example is the Russia-orchestrated lightning occupation of 20% of
Azerbaijan. Guluzade also accuses Russia of secret arms supplies to
Armenia.

As for the US it think that the bad peace signed by Azerbaijan will
satisfy the Armenian lobby and will guarantee stability giving America
free hand to carry out its projects. Washington thinks that even bad
peace will give Azerbaijan an advantage and the US will be able to
easily pump up oil from the Caspian Sea. Washington is wrong thinking
that Moscow wants peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan. “They should
understand that Russia wants Azerbaijan rather than peace.” Russia’s
fixed idea is to tear off Azerbaijan from NATO and the US and to take
hold of its energy resources. It seeks to put an end to projects like
Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan and therefor it is plotting a sophisticated plan
like signing of disgraceful peace by Azerbaijan. “If such agreement is
signed Azerbaijan n will never have back its territories,” says
Guluzade.
