00:31 24/08/2013 " REGION
"I do not think that the visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin
to Azerbaijan has fundamentally changed the strategic balance in the
Caucasus," British journalist, a senior researcher on the Caucasus
at the Carnegie Endowment and author of the book "Black Garden"
Thomas de Waal stated to the Azerbaijani news agency "Vesti.az."
He also stressed that the most important thing the Russian side
achieved was "Rosneft's" participation in the gas project: "Though,
they have not achieved it yet."
Besides, according to Thomas de Waal, Vladimir Putin very little
mentioned about the Karabakh conflict. "In contrast to his predecessor,
Medvedev, Putin does not seem to be enthusiastic about Karabakh and
is not intended to spend on it his political asset," the expert said.
According to Thomas de Waal, Putin's visit was a demonstration of
its power both for Russia and Azerbaijan. "Putin made it clear for
Washington that the United States is minor player in the Caucasus"
he concluded.
