PanARMENIAN.Net - Vladimir Putin's return to Russian presidency
may negatively affect the course of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
settlement, according to Regional Studies Center (RSC) director.
"As compared to Medvedev, Putin always kept his distance from
conflicting parties. I don't believe he'll now be taking the same
efforts to mediate the conflict between Armenian and Azerbaijani
leaders," Richard Giragosian told a news conference in Yerevan.
In this context, the expert positively assessed the results of Armenian
president's recent visit to Russia. "Though critical of Armenia-Russia
ties, I cannot help to notice that this time, the parties focused on
specific issues," the expert said.
On October 23, President of RA Serzh Sargsyan embarked on a three-day
state visit to Russia at his Russian counterpart's invitation.
Meetings with President Dmitry Medvedev, Prime Minister Vladimir
Putin and other high-ranking officials were on Sargsyan's visit agenda.
