RUSSIA’S PUTIN NEVER INTERESTED IN NAGORNO-KARABAKH – US ANALYST

Alex Jackson, an independent analyst of security and political
issues in the Caspian region, has low expectations about the
Armenian-Azerbaijani-Russian presidential meeting in Sochi, Jan. 23
and 24.
Mr. Jackson recalls the presidents had their last meeting in Kazan
last June, with high expectations, which, however, were not satisfied.
According to Mr. Jackson, with the Armenian parliamentary elections
coming up in May, nobody in Yerevan wants to make any unpopular moves
on Karabakh.
The second reason is that Medvedev’s own term in the Kremlin runs
out with the elections in March, when Vladimir Putin is universally
assumed to return to the presidency.
“Putin has never expressed much interest in Karabakh and instinctively
prefers pressure to dialogue, so under his watch, trilateral summits
will almost certainly become less frequent”, he adds.
