Russia controls the South Caucasus region by means of Armenia, said
chief of the center for political innovations and technologies Mubariz
Ahmedoghlu at a press conference today.

He noted that such comments are made by heads of leading mass medias
of Russia and there can be nothing more humiliating for any state,
in this case for Armenia.

"It means that Armenia is a break lever for Russia in the development
of the South Caucasus region-Azerbaijan and Georgia. If Russia’s
relations with Georgia are worsening, the relations between Armenia
and Georgia are becoming tense as well", said Ahmedoghlu.

According to the political scientist, Azerbaijan should be more
attentive about the events, ongoing between Georgia and Russia as
the latter has already initiated execution of plans of annexation of
Georgian territories-Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

"Russia does not intend to recognize independence of separatist
republics Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Official Moscow has already
started implementation of a plan for annexation of these lands to
Russia. How else can we explain the deployment of Russia railway
troops in Abkhazia.

This is made in the framework of the preparations for Olympic games in
Sochi, Russia will hold. In other words, Russia perceives Abkhazia as
its territory and uses these territory as it wills", said Ahmedoghlu.
