RUSSIA IS EAGER TO RETAIN ITS INFLUENCE IN THE UNRECOGNIZED STATES
Russia is eager to retain its influence in the unrecognized states,
i.e. Abkhazia, the South Ossetia, Pridnestrovie and Nagorno Karabakh.
And yet, Russia wants all the unrecognized states to pursue one
political course. Today Armenian Democratic Party leader, RA National
Assembly deputy Aram Sargsyan made the statement in the course of the
press conference in Yerevan. To remind, he took part in the Moscow
conference titled `Parallel CIS. Abkhazia, Pridnestrovie, the South
Ossetia and Nagorno Karabakh as the realities of the post - Soviet
territory'.
He noted the Karabakh party's stand differed from that of the South
Ossetia, Abkhazia and Pridnestrovie. `If representatives of
Pridnestrovie and the South Ossetia literally requested to become
members of Russia, and Abkhazia stated it wished to become an
associative member of Russia, if not affiliate with it, Nagorno
Karabakh has never made such statements, as it strives for
independence from Azerbaijan. If the matter will concern affiliation,
Nagorno Karabakh can affiliate only with Armenia, its historic
Motherland', stated Aram Sargsyan.
The Armenian parliamentarian stressed the Karabakh issue could not be
settled without Nagorno Karabakh's participation. He added all the
talks on the possibility of the conflict settlement in the near
future were aimed at the society's disorientation.
