If Russian interests demand, Vladimir Putin is able to achieve more
in terms of Karabakh settlement.

The statement came from Milli Majlis deputy, political scientist
Rasim Musabayov.

He said in period of his first presidency, Putin was also dealing
with the issue of Karabakh settlement, ‘though not as intensively as
Dmitriy Medvedev’.

“But we see that Dmitriy Medvedev’s activeness was of no effect. It
means that the matter is not about the intensiveness of the meetings
but the serious intention of Russia to achieve progress in settlement.

If objectively, the Russian interests demand so, I suppose that Putin,
even more than Dmitriy Medvedev is able to convince the Armenian
leadership”, Musabayov said.

He noted that with Putin at power, Russia in any form will try to
preserve Karabakh solution under its patronage.

“Though, I have to repeat that I don’t have illusions in this issue.

But I have to repeat that if the situation develops the way that the
Russian interest demand progress in settlement, he will be able to
achieve more”, the political scientist said.
