The Moscow declaration helped to prevent the forced resolution of
the conflict, said Sergey Markov, adviser and head analyst of the
Kremlin as well as director of the Russian Political Studies Institute.
According to him, Russia has demonstrated will not to be a unilateral
force, engaged in recognizing of "separatist regimes".
"Moscow is a stability factor in the Caucasus and in this sense the
Kremlin is demonstrating active role in the South Caucasus, stressing
the seriousness of its intentions", said Markov.
He considers that Moscow has not a purpose to become an influential
state in the South Caucasus. He said the stability in the Caucasus
meets the national interests of Russia and for this purpose Moscow
must influence the South Caucasus.
Markov noted that Russia wants Azerbaijan to become its strategic
ally and support in the South Caucasus which does not happen as Russia
was not strong enough.
"There is a certain inclination towards the United States in the
external policy of Baku. But at the same time it would be incorrect
to say that Azerbaijan has become a US outpost. Baku tries to conduct
a balanced policy. I consider that Russia must hold more active policy
in the South Caucasus, in particular, intensify relations with Turkey",
said the analyst and added that the strengthening of Russian-Turkish
relations promote closing of Baku and Moscow.
"It is important for Russia to exclude the United States, the main
destabilizing force, from the South Caucasus. But here the situation
may also change. A new president is incoming in the United States. The
authors of George Bush's policy, who have been responsible for the
adventurer and imperialistic policy, conducted through the past few
years, will be excluded from the White House
As regards the resolution of the Karabakh conflict, Markov said no
external power has a key to the settlement of this problem.
"Only Armenia and Azerbaijan have this key. Second, conflicts may
never be defrosted. Third, any decisions in such issues are only
temporary", said he and stated the need to defrost the economic and
humanitarian cooperation peacefully. "Let people visit each others,
have a trade and let NGOs have mutual trips and so on. Hungry and
wicked will be at war while rich people will try to settle this
problem. We are not able to settle this problem successfully now. We
will create conditions for the further settlement. The final solution
of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict will never be reached. All forms of
solution will be temporary", concluded Markov.
