/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Having no access to the Russian corridors of power
I can suppose that Russia’s actual position on the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict coincides with the official position it has proclaimed,"
Arsen Melik-Shahnazarov, advisor to NKR Foreign Minister, said in an
interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.

"But I can say that Moscow often allows itself to be led by Baku
which capriciously urges to taboo any mention of Karabakh in Russian
media, to continue telephone, telegraph and postal blockade if
NKR. That is why Russian officials fear to establish contacts with
NKR organizations," he said.

17 years of independence is not little, according to him.

"These years were not lost against the background of recessive
developments in the post-soviet area," Melik-Shahnazarov said.
