    The final statement of the Foreign Ministry of Russian Federation
    (RF) on the Georgian-Ossetin conflict and the self-determination
    principle was forwarded to Georgia and indirectly to Moldova, Azer
    Mursaliyev, the deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper `Kommersant',
    informed the special correspondent of Trend in Moscow.

    `It is clear that these two countries have not good relations with
    Moscow, and the history of the bilateral relations over the past two
    years - it is a gold war between Russia and Georgia, as well as
    Moldova, partially Ukraine. As always, Azerbaijan separates in this
    situation and remains alone,' told Mursaliyev.

    In politician's opinion, it is not by accident that recently the
    Russian defense minister Ivanov kindly and neutrally spoke about the
    Nogorno-Karabakh conflict at the meeting of the defense ministers of
    the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) member-countries in
    Baku. `At the same time, the statement of the Foreign Ministry - it
    is the statement of the Foreign Ministry, although it separately
    touched up on taken regions. The Russian foreign minister put the
    territorial integrity of the neighboring countries under the doubt.
    Undoubtedly, it will affect the position of Armenia in the solution
    of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,' told Mursaliyev.

    Besides, Mursaliyev noted that if Azerbaijan and its position are
    strong enough, of course, the thesis of the territorial integrity of
    the country will dominate. `If Azerbaijan gets into a conflict
    situation and its position weakens, of course, the self-determination
    principle and many other principles will be remembered. It is fair
    not only from the position of Russia, but also other European
    countries. To tell the truth, practically all small and serious
    forces of the planet from China, Europe to the USA take interest in
    this region,' said Mursaliyev.
