AZERI MEDIA OUTLETS CLAIM WASHINGTON AND MOSCOW FEARFUL OF LOSING
INFLUENCE IN SOUTH CAUCASUS

BAKU, AUGUST 26, ARMENPRESS. During the meeting of Azeri president
Ilham Aliyev in Germany, Chancellor Schroder noted that Baku wants to
take part in strengthening of European Union. Writing on this, Azeri
media outlets mentioned that Washington and Moscow understand that if
EU strengthens its positions in South Caucasus they will totally lose
their control over the region.
It is not accidental, Azeri Zerkalo writes, that Russian president
Vladimir Putin had called Ilham Aliyev before his departure to
Germany to discuss development of Russian-Azeri ties.
It is again not accidental that after the meeting of Heidar Aliyev
and Robert Kocharian in Paris Washington organized the meeting of the
two presidents in Key West.
