Moscow. Farid Akbarov - APA. "Russia doesn't want Azerbaijan to get
back Nagorno Karabakh by force", Russian political analyst, director of
Moscow Carnegie Center Dmitry Trenin said in his book "Post Imperium".
The analyst said that Armenia was an official partner of Russia in the
South Caucasus. "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 Gumru 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 get back Nagorno Karabakh by force".
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.
