Leader of Ukrainian Popular Party: “The talks between the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan by Dmitri Medvedev’s initiative may end in a new Karabakh conflict”

Russia attempts to destabilize the situation in Nagorno Karabakh for restoration of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict in order to seize a full control over the oil production in the Caspian Azeri Sector, said one of the leaders of the Ukrainian Popular Party Stepan Khmara commenting on the declaration on the peaceful resolution of the Karabakh conflict signed yesterday by the Presidents of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia.

Khmara considers that Russia tries to completely frustrate the supplies of the Caspian oil to Europe by the pipelines, that bypass Russia, including BTC and Baku-Supsa.

According to Khmara, the peaceful talks between the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan by the initiative of Russian President Dmitri Medvedev may end in a new Karabakh conflict as the unstable Caucasus guarantees that oil will be transported to Europe only via Russia.

"Russia is going to mediate between Azerbaijan and Armenia by the Georgian model", warns the head of the Ukrainian Popular party. He said one of the reasons of Moscow’s aggression against Georgia was blocking the supplies of Caspian oil vie BTC pipeline.

Moreover, Khmara recommended to Yerevan and Baku "to analyze the Georgian experience in details" for "the Kremlin is rather interested in the further expansion in the Caucasus even by way of defrosting ethnic conflicts than the complete resolution of the Karabakh conflict".
