Touching upon the deadlock in NK conflict settlement process, Russian military expert said, “Definitely, NK conflict should be, first and foremost, settled through political means, thus, all the sides, including Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, other sides interested in the settlement, should manage political dialogue.

The EU does not see significant steps in the implementation of the Minsk agreements by Russia, and therefore to talk about the easing of sanctions against the country prematurely.

“Essence of the third scenario is Assad’s escape, after which the crisis will more intensify, as no matter whom he’ll intend to pass the power, he won’t have that authority to be acceptable for all the sides, which will again lead to a civil war.

That Russia is pulling Armenia ever closer is upsetting to some in Azerbaijan, where some lawmakers are asking for reconsideration of their country’s close relations with Russia. Azerbaijan’s relationship with Armenia is fraught over, among other things, the frozen conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, in which Russia has played peacemaker, and from which it has therefore sometimes been accused of benefiting.
Donald Trump is pretty sore that he’s going to lose the popular vote by as much as two percentage points. So he’s lashing out, launching baseless accusations of large-scale voter fraud to explain why he lost the popular vote even as he managed to win the electoral college.
“Of course, I don’t consider that it’s coincidence: this is the reflection of Russian big policy in the South Caucasus, generally in the Caucasus. However, let’s observe them one by one, as Armenia is an independent, sovereign country, and although I’m completely sure, that military cooperation, as well as generally policy pursued by Russia contradicts Armenia’s national interests, Armenia’s authorities have the right to make that decision.”
