/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia is Russia's ally at all points, Russian
expert Vitaly Tretyakov said.
"Armenia is our outpost in the South Caucasus while Azerbaijan is an
important country from financial viewpoint. It has oil but I doubt
it will support Russia in case of an armed conflict," he said.
"Moscow supports both Armenia and Azerbaijan. But look what can happen
next. Azerbaijan doesn't rule out attempt to re-gain Karabakh by use of
force. Armenians will defend their land to the death. Moscow will have
to make a choice. It's obvious that that Russia had better cooperate
with Yerevan than Baku, as strategic allies are more important than
oil," Tretyakov said.
Moscow's indefinite positions makes Armenia seek other outlets,
including Turkey, according to him.
"Besides, with powerful Diaspora in the United States, allows Yerevan
to think that the administration will dampen Azerbaijan's ardor
if Russia quits the process, Tretyakov concluded, Kosmsomolskaya
Pravda reports.
