ArmInfo. "Azerbaijan is a problematic country for Russia in all
respects," First Vice Chairman of Russian State Duma Committee for CIS,
Konstantin Zatulin told media in Yerevan on Tuesday. - "I am sure of
that, for Azerbaijan is not a member of CSTO, EurAsEC and declares
that Azerbaijan and Turkey are two countries one nation. Azerbaijan
participated in GUAM that was created to advance the others' ideas
in the post-Soviet area and to balance the forces with the growing
CSTO and EurAsEC which involve Armenia and Russia. Despite this,
Russia strives to have good relations with Azerbaijan because the
present political regime in that country inspires with certain hopes
that Azerbaijani authorities will not transcend," he said.
As regards the regular rhetorical threats from Baku to Yerevan and
Stepanakert, Zatulin said he does not think that Azerbaijan is on
the edge of military revenge because military actions are the worst
way of propaganda in favor of new vested capital. "In this context, I
consider such threats as a bluff so natural in the Caucasus," he said.
