PanARMENIAN.Net – Russia’s steps aimed at the settlement of the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict do not seem convincing, political expert
said.
Zardusht Alizadeh expressed skepticism over Moscow to take efforts
towards speedy resolution of the problem.
`Though Russia officially recognizes the territorial integrity of
Azerbaijan, it aims to protract the conflict to maintain control of
the region,’ SalamNews quoted Zardusht Alizadeh as saying.
