    RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR TO ARMENIA: HAVING TAKEN ARMENIA'S OR AZERBAIJAN'S SIDE, RUSSIA WILL TURN OUT TO BE ASIDE OF KARABAKH PROCESS

    ArmInfo. Having taken Armenia's or Azerbaijan's side, Russia will turn
    out to be aside of the Karabakh process, and this is an axiom we have
    to understand, Russian Ambassador to Armenia Vyacheslav Kovalenko said
    today in Yerevan during a one-day research-to-practice conference
    "Russia and Armenia in the world and regional politics: problems
    and prospects".

    "We have been explaining this axiom to Georgia for one and a half
    year persuading its leadership that the Abkhaz and South Ossetian
    problem can be solved only by achieving a compromise, however, this
    axiom was not perceived by there, that resulted in a war with all the
    subsequent events", he said. According to Kovalenko, today's policy
    of Russia with respect to the Karabakh conflict currently implies,
    first of all, non- admission of resumption of military operations on
    Karabakh borders. Moscow can achieve it just be keeping neutrality
    in the Karabakh conflict.

    The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict broke out on February 28 1988 in the
    Azerbaijani Sumgait with massacre of Armenians as a peculiar response
    of Azerbaijanis to the peaceful demand of the Nagorno-Karabakh
    autonomous Region, part of the Azerbaijani SSR, to unite with the
    Armenian SSR. This resulted in other pogroms of Armenians in Baku,
    Kirovabad and other regions of Azerbaijan populated with Armenians.

    In 1991 Azerbaijan unleashed war against peaceful populations of
    Nagorno-Karabakh, expulsing ethnic Armenians from the territory of
    Azerbaijan. Dozens of thousands of peaceful residents on both parties
    were killed in the military actions, and hundreds of thousands were
    left homeless and have become refugees.
