    RUSSIA'S ROLE IN KARABAKH SETTLEMENT WEAKENING

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russia's role in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
    settlement is weakening. Unlike the United States, Moscow doesn't
    render financial assistance to NKR, head of the interethnic relations
    department at the institute of political and military analysis Sergei
    Markedonov said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.

    Satisfied with contacts with Armenia, Russia doesn't demonstrate any
    intention to engage Nagorno Karabakh as a full-fledged participant
    in the talks, according to him.

    "After proclamation of Kosovo's independence and its recognition by a
    number of states, Russia outlined its stand on Abkhazia and Ossetia
    but prefers to avoid Nagorno Karabakh. Meanwhile, strategy should
    never be restricted to recognition or silence. There are lots of
    approaches. I should also mention that the position of official Yerevan
    and unrecognized Stepanakert do not always coincide. Undoubtedly,
    Russia needs sustainable relations with Azerbaijan. But recognition
    of NKR as a party in talks is recognition of political reality but
    not recognition of de facto state," he said.
