Considering Russia's obligations to defend Armenia from external
threats, any attacks on the Armenian territory will give it a pretext
for interfering into the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Russian expert
Vladimir Yevseyav told ArmInfo on Monday.
"They in Azerbaijan are trying to settle the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
by force, so, there may be new tensions in the area. But I don't think
that this has anything to do with the Ukrainian crisis. Aliyev is
more interested in oil prices as this is the basis of his welfare,"
Yevseyav said.
The expert does not think that Russia should stop its military-
technical cooperation with Azerbaijan. "This would not benefit
Armenia, while Russia would lose its influence on Azerbaijan. If this
cooperation continues, the Russians can at one moment stop supplying
spare parts to the arms they have already supplied and this would be
a preventive step for Azerbaijan," Yevseyav said.
He is sure that Russia will continue keeping Azerbaijan from attempts
to settle Nagorno-Karabakh conflict by force. "Unlike the Americans,
the Russians seek no PR here," Yevseyav said.
