    Russian expert warns of Armenian-Azeri war in Karabakh



    Moscow, 2 April: "One of the foremost reasons for the cooling of the
    Russian-Azerbaijani relations is Azerbaijan's wish to return the
    Armenian-occupied territories through war," Geydar Dzhemal, head of
    Russia's Islamic Committee, has voiced these ideas in an interview
    with APA in Moscow.

    He said that to date Russian-Azerbaijani relations have not been very
    good. "Lately, relations became even cooler. The reasons have to do
    with several factors. Thus, the USA wish to withdraw its troops from
    Afghanistan via Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan's wish to liberate through war
    Nagornyy Karabakh and adjacent districts that had been occupied by
    Armenia and informal support that NATO and Israel lend to Azerbaijan
    to this end have made relations colder. All these limit Moscow's
    ability to influence the region, ties its hands, so to speak. And
    prevents Moscow from defending militarily Armenia and the occupation
    by Armenians of Azerbaijani territories," [he said].

    Geydar Dzhemal said that the possibility of the resumption of the war
    in near future is high: "The war in Nagornyy Karabakh may begin at any
    moment. Azerbaijan sees that negotiations fail to yield any results
    and wishes to liberate its lands from occupation through war."

    Concerning the possibility that the act of terror in Boston was linked
    to the US plans regarding the Caucasus, the political analyst said
    that it is no coincidence that ethnic Chechen Tsarnayev brothers were
    implicated in terrorism. "This act of terror was perpetrated by
    professional operatives of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The
    initial plan to blame this on Al-Qai'dah was thwarted. Obama did not
    permit this. Later, the anti-Russian version was chosen. The version
    of Chechen Tsarnayev brothers was implemented. The reasons for opting
    for this version will become clear in near future," he said.

    Dzhemal also commented on Azerbaijan-Iran relations. He said the tense
    relations between the two countries were caused by close cooperation
    of Azerbaijan with Israel. "Iran believes that close cooperation of
    Azerbaijan with Israel is directly aimed against Iran," he said.
