Summing up the outcome of the summit in Sochi, experts, including
Russian ones, draw the following conclusions. First, Russia wanted
to demonstrate that it controls the Caucasus and can influence the
conflict sides. This is the most important thing, considering that
Moscow has actually failed its foreign policy in almost all its
aspects. And the Armenian-Azerbaijani topic is still the only one
regarding which Russia could be adequate to international politics.
The other conclusion is that Putin has saved Aliyev and his regime.
The "three day" war in August ended in Azerbaijan's significant defeat
after which it was clear that the billions spent on the defense sector
were useless. It also became known that if the military actions
continue, Aliyev's regime may appear on the verge of collapse, and
he badly needed a pause.
Russian experts say that Azerbaijan is unable to defeat the Armenians
despite its quantitative advantage.
This circumstance favors Russia because it has acted as Azerbaijan's
"redeemer". Besides, it got a chance to continue to supply weapons
to Azerbaijan. During the "three-day war" Russia was supplying new
weapons to Baku.
During the "summit" in Sochi Putin and Aliyev continued to refer to
the Minsk Group, admitting the failure of attempts to withdraw the
Karabakh settlement from this international format.
For his part, the Armenian side actually saved Putin's face with
its actions as a real strategic partner against the background of
Russia's recent outrageous failures and a behavior towards Armenia
which is not adequate of an ally.
One may think that the "ceasefire" will not last long because the
Russian policy has not thought of any new mechanisms in the South
Caucasus besides arming Azerbaijanis and pushing them towards
aggression against Armenians given the difficult domestic and
international situation and inability to conduct a more or less
effective policy.
In this situation the Armenian army will continue to strike aiming
to create a security area for the border villages, as well as taking
under control the utilities and facilities of strategic importance.
