The USA isn’t Able to Obstacle Russia: A.Piontkovsky

“Current U.S. office isn’t able to obstacle Russia’s activities in Karabakh. The USA doesn’t possess tools for leverage towards Russia, and when Kerry and Lavrov meet, Lavrov gets what he needs, and he appears in that talk as a “leading male.”

Look what’s going on in Syria, it’s a shame of American diplomacy. They even joke, if Lavrov and Kerry stay in one room together for four hours, during those negotiations Alaska will be returned to Russia. What may we say of Karabakh in this situation?” Andrey Piontkovsky, Russian oppositional politician, publicist, told 168.am, touching upon USA-Russia competition in Karabakh conflict.

He stated that talks that Russia is withdrawing its positions, in fact, is an attempt to turn the desired into a reality, moreover, an attempt to increase the role of American and French diplomacy.

“However, we observe, that every day Putin’s Russia in Syria publicly “wipes its feet” on the USA, doing what it wants: bombs civilians, bombs rebels, who cooperate with the West, moreover, each Kerry-Lavrov meeting is a humiliating interrogation, a spate of requests to exert pressure over Assad, which Moscow is not going to do. This is the present-day modus of relations of weak and defenseless Obama-Kerry office and the Kremlin’s Moscow,” Piontkovsky said.

Complete interview will be available in tomorrow’s publication of “168 Hours” newspaper
