There are no specific arrangements on resolution of the Karabakh
conflict so far. They should be developed, coordinated and adopted
by Armenia, Azerbaijan and those who currently live in Nagorno
Karabakh Republic. First Vice Chairman of the State Duma Committee
for International Affairs Kostantin Kosachev made such statement on
Wednesday when commenting on the upcoming trilateral meeting of the
Russian-Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents in Sochi.
"Resolution of the Karabakh conflict is possible through a compromise
and not ultimatums. This conflict is one of the most complicated ones
in the post-Soviet area. Each country has strong arguments in favor
of its position," the parliamentarian said.
Kosachev said Russia is among the few countries to enjoy trust
and support of all the conflicting parties. There are pro-Azeri
and pro-Armenian countries, while Russia has always been committed
to achievement of compromise acceptable to all the parties to the
conflict. "The efforts of the Russian leadership and diplomacy are
focused on this very goal," Kosachev said.
To recall, on January 17 the trigger-happy ruler of dynastic Azerbaijan
Ilham Aliyev made another statement saying that Azerbaijan is and
will be increasing its defense potential. "Our military expenditures
were USD 3 413 million in 2010, but it was USD 3 474 million in 2011,"
he said at the meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers.
"Our army has great opportunities today. We have strongest army in the
region", said the Head of State and noted that the defense potential
of Azerbaijan alarms Armenia. "We are ready to get more result with
less losses," the trigger-happy president declared.
