    Russian President Vladimir Putin will most probably pay a state
    visit to Armenia in early September, Director of the Institute of
    CIS Countries, political scientist Konstantin Zatulin told a press
    conference in Yerevan today.

    Russia's policy line on Nagorno Karabakh will not change under Vladimir
    Putin's presidency, Zatulin added.

    "Russia is not going to refuse from its mediating mission as
    co-chairing country of the OSCE Minsk Group," Zatulin said.

    "Despite the years-long efforts of Azerbaijan, the mediators remained
    committed to the Madrid Principles. I think that Armenia and Azerbaijan
    must think about the steps that will help relieve the tension in the
    negotiations," the political scientist said.

    According to him, Russia is interested in having good relations with
    both Armenia AND Azerbaijan. "Russia believes that the high level of
    Russian-Azerbaijani relations at least helps prevent Azerbaijan's
    adventurism against Armenia. At the same time the Russian-Armenian
    and Russian-Azerbaijani relations must not be compared. Armenia and
    Russia are part of the same military-political union, while Azerbaijan
    is just a member of CIS," Konstantin Zatulin said.
