    YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 4, NOYAN TAPAN. The Declaration signed by the
    Presidents of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Russia on November 2 should be
    considered in the regional context, as re-establishment of Russia's
    dominating role. Ruben Hakobian, the Head of the Akunk Center for
    Political Analyses, the former RA Consul in Saint Petersburg, expressed
    such an opinion at the October 4 press conference. According to him,
    Russia has been always protecting its national-state interests and if
    necessary it will do it by both peaceful methods and by using military
    force. R. Hakobian affirmed that if it is in Russia's interests to
    gain Azerbaijan's favor, it will do that and has already started
    doing. "Today Azerbaijan has a serious economic potential and serious
    goals, Azerbaijan is necessary for Russia, and Karabakh is also in
    the basket of gaining Azerbaijan's favor," he said.

    Touching upon Madrid principles of solving the Nagorno Karabakh
    conflict, R. Hakobian stated that an attempt to combine the principles
    of nations' self-determination and territorial integrity contradicting
    each other was made in them. "It is an experiment, which can have both
    good and bad consequences," he said adding that at present the most
    important task of the RA authorities should be to involve Karabakh
    in the negotiations process.
