    THE AMBASSADOR OF RUSSIA IN BAKU: RUSSIA'S RECOGNITION OF ABKHAZIA AND OSSETIA DOES NOT PREJUDICE THE TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY OF AZERBAIJAN

    Azerbaijan Business Center, Azerbaijan
    Aug 27 2008


    Baku, Fineko/abc.az. Russia is not going to extrapolate on Azerbaijan
    the precedent it created yesterday concerning one-side recognition
    of independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

    The Ambassador of Russia to Azerbaijan Vasiliy Istratov said at a
    special briefing in Baku that Russia respects the territorial integrity
    of Azerbaijan despite the fact it recognized the independence of
    Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

    "Russia will not change its attitude towards the territorial
    integrity of Azerbaijan. The declaration signed by Presidents Dmitriy
    Medvedev and Ilham Aliyev this July is not loosing its power at
    all," V.Istratov said. Under the declaration, Russia recognized the
    territorial integrity of Azerbaijan in full volume, including occupied
    by Armenia Nagorno Karabakh and seven regions around it.

    "The decision on recognizing the independence of Abkhazia and South
    Ossetia is difficult, compulsory, but an only possible way in current
    conditions. The decision concerns a concrete situation occurred in
    the region as a result of the military actions launched by Georgia in
    South Ossetia on August 8. It is applicable only to concrete situation
    occurred in concrete spaces," V.Istratov thinks.

    Many people in Azerbaijan think that such concrete situation might
    appear in Azerbaijan concerning Nagorno Karabakh, the conflict around
    which was interrupted under the Bishkek Armistice of 1994.
