ArmInfo. Russia, as a country, responsible for all processes in the
region, should take an active part in the resolution of Nagorno
Karabakh conflict. Russia should not reject the responsibility for what
has happened there and should give up its empire ambitions, the former
prime minister of Russia Mikhail Kasyanov says in an interview with
Day.az.
In response to the question that Russia supports Armenia in this issue
and considers it its main ally in the South Caucasus, frequently
ignoring international resolutions on the status of Nagorno Karabakh,
M. Kasyanov says: ‘I do not think that Russia supports Armenia, I think
this is an artificially raised topic. I would repeat that Russia does
not take the due active participation in the problem, because the
government has no time to establish order in its own country. I am not
an expert in the issue of arabakh but I can say that the resolution of
this problem is extremely important both for the region and for
Russia’.
‘But, I consider that Russia should become the main partner of
Azerbaijan in the resolution of the territorial conflict and I hope
that if there is nothing negative, Azerbaijan and Armenia will settle
the problem peacefully’ M. Kasyanov says.
