Baku, February 9, AssA-Irada
The Russian Duma (parliament) vice-speaker Vladimir Zhirinovsky says
that the most appropriate solution for the problem over Upper
Garabagh would be its entering the Commonwealth of Independent States
(CIS). He said that Moscow is afraid of taking either side in the
conflict settlement to avoid hurting their interests.
Zhirinovsky added that neither Azerbaijan nor Armenia will ever
accept losing Upper Garabagh.
Commenting on the statement, the Milli Majlis first deputy chairman
Arif Rahimzada regarded it as nonsense. He did not rule out that this
statement may be put on discussion in the Azerbaijani parliament,
since it was made by the second top official of the Russian
parliament.*
