    RUSSIAN PARLIAMENT MEMBER'S STATEMENT ENRAGES AZERIS

    BAKU, JANUARY 5, ARMENPRESS: A statement by Dmitry Rogozin, a
    Russian parliament member, that Moscow must develop a mechanism that
    would allow to join breakaway regions of Georgia-South Ossetia,
    Abkhazia and Transdniester of Moldova to Russia has infuriated
    Azerbaijani politicians.
    The Baku-based daily Ekho recalls that similar announcements were
    made by some Russian political figures concerning Nagorno Karabagh.
    The Azeri daily quotes a Moldavian reintegration minister Vasily
    Shovay as saying that it is difficult to imagine a statement that
    would harm Russia more than the one made by Rogozin.
    The daily also quotes a former foreign minister Tofik Zulfugarov
    as saying that Rogozin's statement is creating serious problems for
    Russia regarding its international image, as it runs counter to its
    officially declared foreign policy principles.
