U.S. will do nothing for resolution of frozen conflicts in post-soviet
territory and will seek no dispute settlement for sovereign states,
that are still under Russia’s influence, said former U.S. Ambassador
to the UN John R. Bolton speaking at the American University for
entrepreneurship.
According to him, Obama’s policy toward Russia proves his words: "I
know it sounds weird, but I believe this is how things will develop."
Bolton was also optimistic about the process of diplomatic relations’
establishment between Armenia and Turkey. "It is a positive trend,
but I wound not exaggerate its consequences. This is a positive move
that Turkey establishes ties with a country after these many years. And
definitely this is symbolic," Bolton stated.
In his opinion, resumption of US-Russia relations affects also other
post-soviet countries, including Georgia and Azerbaijan. "Obama
administration steps are directed to becalming of Russia, but so far
no avail – mutual relations are still complex," the official declared.
