RUSSIA DOES NOT NEED NEW TENSIONS IN SOUTH CAUCASUS - EXPERTS
Vestnik Kavkaza

Russia
Many experts have been predicting conflicts between the US, Israel
and Iran these days. The same concerns the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,
where violations of the ceasefire are frequent.
Alexey Vlasov, Editor-in-Chief of Vestnik Kavkaza, says that there
are reasons to worry indeed, but the Russian government, unlike
experts, is monitoring the situation attentively without coming to
hasty conclusions.
Vlasov says that the price for leasing the Qabala radar is a totally
different topic and there are no pre-decided negative tendencies
in the issue. Moreover, the statements by some experts, saying that
Moscow wants to use Guba lezgins and Zakatalsk avarians to pressurize
Azerbaijan, seem strange.
The methods used by Washington in the Middle East, the South Caucasus
and Central Asia should not be associated with Russian diplomacy, as
stated by Ismail Agakishiyev, head of the Center for Caucasus Studies
of the Russian State University for the Humanities. Moscow is more
interested in President Ilham Aliyev's efforts to maintain stability
in the region during the elections in 2013, the expert believes.
