Heydar Jemal: "The Kremlin provides direct support to the unrecognized regime of Nagorno Karabakh and it is only left to make an official statement"

-The Kremlin has decided to establish official ties with de facto powers of the self-declared republics of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. What do you think Moscow intends to do?

-Russia has no balanced policy both in the post-Soviet area and in the international arena.The actions of Russian authorities are impulsive -a large circle settles its own tasks not connected with national interests. The latter is ready to betray Russia in the international arena. A certain group within the leadership demonstrates to the world
society that the ruling regime does not cope with its tasks.

This discredits the Kremlin so that those responsible for this policy were obliged to give their place to this ambitious group. Its members are ready to undertake any actions in support Abkhazia and South Ossetia despite agreements of the Kremlin, which could have existed with Washington or Tbilisi in the past.

As there is no unity in the Russian government, its actions are unpredictable.

-How far,you think, Moscow will go in its "games" with the unrecognized formations in the post Soviet area?

-Recognition of separatist regimes by Moscow is quite real. Such script is possible due to the counteraction between the clans within the leadership. Various groupings may involve the Kremlin for their ambitious purposes until its initiation of an armed confrontation with
Georgia.

-Analysts state that Moscow's "knight's tour" is aimed to prevent Georgia from accession to NATO...

-This motivation is intended for a certain circle of political class, experts and others.

It is obvious than in case of armed confrontation with Georgia, Moscow will be perceived inadequately from the point of view of external policy, which can not be said about Tbilisi's accession to NATO as Georgia will be immediately supported by the United States and NATO,
which will lead to presence of their armed forces near Russia. This is even worse than Georgia's accession to the Alliance.

In fact, Russian authorities do not care of Georgia's accession to NATO. Today, the deteriorated relations with Georgia is a bargaining chip in the internal political conflict in the Kremlin.

-It is no secret that relations between Moscow and Baku are not on a high level. Azerbaijan, like Georgia, has a territorial problem, in particular, Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Do you think the Kremlin might apply the Georgian script to Baku?

-Anyway, Russia supports Armenia in Nagorno Karabakh conflict both in the political and military spheres. A group of force supporters try to preserve their positions in the Kremlin and are ready to raise tensions both within Russia and in the post-Soviet area. The more tense the situation on the Russian borders is, the stronger is their position.

The Kremlin provides direct support to the unrecognized regime of Nagorno Karabakh. It is only left to make an official statement.
