The "weapon" cooperation of Moscow and Baku is not the key factor in
escalation in the Karabakh conflict zone, Russian political expert
Andrey Areshev has told ArmInfo when commenting on Armenian President
Serzh Sargsyan's recent statement. To recall, earlier Serzh Sargsyan
said at a media forum in Yerevan that the supply of military hardware
to Azerbaijan causes concerns and that this problem should be settled.
Areshev said that over the past few days the topic of the arms
supply has been voiced more often, which is obviously explained by
the escalated tension in the Karabakh conflict zone. "Official Baku
has obviously got its own reasons to exert constant pressure on the
Armenian side and I think that the "weapon" cooperation between Moscow
and Baku is not a key factor here. In this light, I would like to note
that Moscow had military and technical interaction with both Yerevan
and Baku over the previous years as well, however, the death toll on
the frontline has sharply risen within months", he said.
The expert believes that the main solution to the problems is the
political dialogue between Russia and Armenia at the level of the
Presidents, Governments, Parliaments, and civil society structures.
"Much is still to be done in this regard, though intensification of
bilateral contacts is evident. Of course, not everyone likes it",
says Areshev.
