Azerbaijan hopes for more active participation of Russia in the
Karabakh settlement, head of the Azeri Presidential Administration's
Sociopolitical Affairs Department Ali Hasanov said on Monday.
"We expect Russia to intensify the efforts it is taking in the
settlement of the Karabakh conflict and to make them more efficient,"
he said.
Neither the OSCE nor the UN or other international organizations can
make serious progress in the peace settlement without Russian efforts,
he said.
"The Russian influence on Armenia is very large. In fact, this country
is under the Russian influence in all spheres, including politics,
economy, social affairs and so on," he said.
"So Russia may lead Armenia to a constructive path with its efficient
influence," he noted.
"We do not want much from Armenia. We want it to take a constructive
position, to withdraw forces of occupation from the seized Azeri lands
and to create conditions for Azerbaijan in order to restore civil
and ethnic rights of Azeris and Armenians in Karabakh," Hasanov said.
