Mukhin: In case of war Russia will fulfill its obligations to Armenia
A resump“A resumption of hostilities in Nagorno Karabakh is possible only in case of an escalation of relations in the Middle East and North Africa. Unfortunately, these conflict spots are connected with each other. The presidential elections in Azerbaijan will change almost nothing, but may provoke worsening of the climate around disputed territories,” Director General of the Russian Center for Political Information Alexey Mukhin said in an interview with Vesti.az.
When asked how Moscow will act in case of an Armenian-Azerbaijani war and if a repeat of the Georgian scenario is possible (that is, Moscow will bring troops into the conflict zone and fight on the side of its ally in the CSTO – Armenia), Mukhin replied: “Russia will take a peacekeeping position. The Kremlin is not interested in a full-scale conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. It will play a restrictive role. Moscow has certain obligations to Armenia and it will fulfill those obligations”.
