March 8 2011
Georgia
Under the sponsorship of Russian President Medvedev, Russia organised
a meeting between the Armenian and Azeri presidents Serge Sarkisian
and Ilham Aliyev in Sochi. There have been several such initiatives
since 2008, the major achievements of the meetings not being steps
towards the regulation of the Karabakh conflict but merely the
prevention of a resumption of hostilities in the region. Armenian
sources confirmed that the declaration of March 5, 2011 has the same
content as that of the November 2008 declaration. Russia~Rs position
is clear and unchanged ~V it is satisfied with a simple no peace ~V
no war situation. Similar situations exist with the current conflicts
in Moldova and Georgia, which are clearly beneficial for the Kremlin.
