Russia doesn't want Azerbaijan to use force for the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict settlement as Armenia is Russia's ally in the South Caucasus,
Russian political analyst, director of Moscow Carnegie Center Dmitry
Trenin said in his book "Post Imperium," APA news agency reports.
"Armenia is only country in the region allowing Russia to deploy its
military base in its territory. In August 2010, Armenia and Russia
signed an agreement on prolongation of deployment period until 2044.
The main goal of the Gyumri military base is to control Turkey in
the south, Georgia in the north and Azerbaijan in the east. Russia
strengthens its security perimeter in the region by this agreement
and guarantees Armenia's border security. It hints to Azerbaijan not
to attempt to apply force for Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement,"
the political analyst said.
Commenting on Russian-Azerbaijan relations, the political analyst said
Azerbaijan took an important place for Russia in the regional energy
policy. "Despite that Russia expressed its willingness to endure
Baku's close relations with the Western oil giants, as well as with
Turkey, but Moscow doesn't like Washington's support of Azerbaijan and
Kazakhstan to modernize their naval forces. Russia states that the
Caspian Sea belongs only to the littoral states. Outside countries
can not deal with the Caspian security problems. In response to US
"Caspian guard" initiative, Russia proposed to found CASFOR, the
naval forces of the Caspian littoral states.
