/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Russian government doesn't want an agreement
between Armenia and Azerbaijan, says Paul A. Goble, Director of
Research and Publications at Azerbaijani Diplomatic Academy.
He suggests that President Dmitri Medvedev may have invited the
presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan to come to Moscow on Sunday for
negotiations on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict partly as a way of
demonstrating Russia's preeminent position vis-a-vis the other Minsk
Group countries. Goble says that, if Moscow decides it is in its
greater interest to back Azerbaijan, there will be in his words a
`possibility of movement.' But, he adds, Russia's geopolitical
calculations in the southern Caucasus have clearly changed, The Voice
of America reports.
