YEREVAN, AUGUST 16, ARMENPRESS: The President of the Russian Federation
Vladimir Putin was interested in two issues in Azerbaijan.
This was stated on August 16 at the press conference by the political
expert Stepan Grigoryan. According to him, these two issues were the
Azerbaijan's policy in supplying gas and oil to Europe bypassing Russia
and the country's attitude towards the integration processes in the
framework of the CIS countries. Stepan Grigoryan noted that Russia
had an objective to soften the Azerbaijan's policy in supplying gas
and oil to Europe by an alternative way.
The political expert reminded that Baku does not participate and does
not support the integration processes in the framework of the CIS
countries. "Baku has not changed its position in supplying gas and oil
to Europe by an alternative way and has not changed its mind concerning
the participation in the integration processes in the framework of the
CIS countries", - said Stepan Grigoryan, as reported by Armenpress,
adding that in response, Russia has not changed its position in
the Karabakh conflict issue. "Armenia continues to be the Russia's
main strategic partner in the region", - said the political expert,
emphasizing the high level of the Armenian Russian relations in the
military field.
The President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin paid a working
visit to Azerbaijan on August 13. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of
the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov, the Minister of Defense of the
Russian Federation Sergey Shoygu, the Minister of Energy of the Russian
Federation Alexander Novak, the Minister of Emergency Situations of
the Russian Federation Vladimir Puchkov, the Minister of Transport
of the Russian Federation Maxim Sokolov and a number of other high
rank officials were included in the Russian delegation. During the
visit a shameful accident occurred, particularly the Foreign Affairs
Minister of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov was called with an
obscene phrase.
