Today, in an interview with the Russian Service of Voice of America,
Russian Duma's vise-speaker Vladimir Zhirinovsky has commented
the situation around his statement on Karabakh's Independence,
in particularly, when he said if Karabakh declares independence,
then Russia must recognize it.
"The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan is so deep that I can't
say it's possible to surrender Karabakh to Azerbaijan without war. So
it's necessary to look for certainly new status which is expected to
be acceptable for all sides. Azerbaijan's government feels aggrieved
with me when I say this, but it is not me the causer of this conflict.
I am just stating obvious and clear matters as a specialist who has
lived and worked in that region," he said.
Russia has not interest to gain one-sided better hands for Armenia,
according to Vladimir Zhirinovsky. He pointed that Russia's interest
is to see stability in the region, so this brings some common basis
for Russia-U.S. cooperation.
It's worth mentioning, that on January 16, Azerbaijan's Embassy to
Russia sent to Russian Foreign Ministry a Stiff Note of Protest over
Vladimir Zhirinovsky's statement on recognition of Karabakh.
