BAKU, Azerbaijan (AP) -- Russia is taking too active a role in
the negotiations over the disputed Nagorny Karabakh enclave, whose
unresolved status remains a source of tension for Azerbaijan and
Armenia, Azeri President Ilham Aliyev said Friday.
Aliyev was reacting to comments by State Duma Speaker Boris Gryzlov,
who said Wednesday that Armenia was Russia's outpost in the Caucasus
region.
"We are confused: We have always considered Armenia a state, but now
it turns out that it is an outpost," Aliyev told reporters Friday. "So
whom should we negotiate with now -- the outpost or the master of
the outpost?"
