    THOMAS DE WAAL: RUSSIA HAS NO INTEREST IN A NEW WAR

    11:41 ~U 03.07.13

    Russia has no interest in a renewed war over Karabakh, Thomas de
    Waal, a senior researcher at the Washington-based think tank Carnegie
    Endowment, has said in a recent interview with CivilNet TV.

    According to him, the country is more interested in a military balance
    in Karabakh, not willing to take sides with any of the countries
    involved in the conflict.

    ~SRussia certainly has no interest in a new war,~T he said, when
    asked to comment on Russia~Rs large-scale weapons deal with Azerbaijan.

    The expert attributed the fact to a commercialization of the country~Rs
    foreign policy and an attempt to give Armenia a heavy hint that it
    is now time for joining the Customs Union.

    Thomas de Waal, who has authored books on Nagorno-Karabakh, said
    Russia is more counting money than anything else, trying to expand
    the Customs union to Ukraine by increasing the natural gas prices,
    and using other forms of pressure.
