MOSCOW. - President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev will not attend the
CIS summit scheduled for September 2-3 in Dushanbe. It is assumed
that the reason is unsuccessful talks on Karabakh, which Aliyev held
with Dmitry Medvedev in Sochi.
"The fact that Aliyev went on to such a move does not play into
Russia's hand, since Moscow loses the image of mediator in the eyes of
partners, acquiring other properties - a lobbyist for Armenia. The fact
that Aliyev, a careful and intelligent politician, went for this (from
the standpoint of the Aliyev) shows to what condition they brought
him. It is sad for the CIS as well, because it already celebrates
its 20th anniversary without Georgia," said the expert of Moscow
Carnegie Center Alexei Malashenko in an interview to Nezavisimaya
Gazeta. "Aliyev's step confirms the incapacity of CIS.
Evidence for that are standing trade wars and interstate conflicts
within it."
