/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russia will not make any changes in its stand on
the Karabakh issue, Russian political scientist Grigory Trofimchuk
said. According to him, if the NKR authorities decide to hold a
referendum on independence, this will be a decision beyond the sphere
of Russia's influence. "No one will ask Russia whether to hold the
referendum or not. If determined, it will be conducted on the fixed
date and Russia will support it. Unlike the Transnistrian or Abkhazian
issues, Russia will not engage into a political confrontation and
its line on Karabakh has undergone no changes," the Russian political
scientist said.
Trofimchuk considers that the situation with Nagorno Karabakh differs
from the situation in Transnistria and South Ossetia. "In case with
Karabakh Russia will support the position of the EU and U.S. Azerbaijan
will anyway come off the loser, since the West is interested in its
oil but not its territorial integrity," he said, reported Day.az.
