/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The West will never succeed in pushing Russia out
of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement process, Director of
the RF Institute of the U.S. and Canada Sergey Rogov considers. "The
resolution of this problem demands multilateral efforts but no one
will be able to deprive Russia of the mediating mission and moreover to
substitute it by NATO or any other western structure," Rogov said. In
his opinion, the mentioning of Karabakh in the resulting document of
the G8 summit is conditioned by the West’s wish to press Russia.

Sergey Rogov reminded that Russia "maintains balanced relations
with Armenia and Azerbaijan". Besides, he said, the appearance of
a provision on the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant proves the G8’s
contradictory approaches. "Western Europe and America’s idea about
the construction of a new silk-road bypassing Russia and use of the
Caspian energy resources prompt them to support Azerbaijani positions,"
Rogov underscored, reported RIA Novosti.
