    RUSSIAN FM'S STATEMENT ON NAGORNO-KARABAKH A THREAT - ASHASI YENOKYAN

    Political scientist Aghasi Yenokyan, who, in an earlier interview

    in Yerevan. Russia may thus be showing its favorable attitude to

    region, and Russia will spare no effort to 'neutralize' this factor.

    to contain its 'initial part'. And why should they want - or does any
    state want - hostilities? Such statements do not follow contemporary
    political logic. It means a number of preconditions have been
    presented, which, Russia believes, will escalate the conflict. I think
