Paata Davitaya: "Russia attempts to put pressure on Azerbaijan"

He said we should not forget that today Azerbaijan is among the most serious rivals for Russia that holds the policy of energy pressure on different countries of the world.

"Azerbaijan, which has proven to be a reliable partner, may become a country which the CE states would want to see as an alternative to the unpredicted and aggressive Russia.

Being aware of a great possible of such developments, Russia attempts to put pressure on Azerbaijan. Arming Armenia, hampering the fair resolution of the Karabakh conflict is among the most visible and well known ways of Russia's pressure on Azerbaijan", noted the vise speaker.

Commenting on the statement of the head ideologist of the external policy of the Kremlin Alexander Dugin who called on the Russian powers to start war in the territories of the countries, striving for energy independece from Russia and said "I think the Nabucco project should be frustrated by all means, as the gas geopolitics is implied. If a military conflict is needed, we should do it, as all ways are good in geopolitics", Davitaya said:

"This demonstrates Russia's readiness to avert any energy projects that would allow Europe reduce dependence of Russian energy sources and everyone who starts do doubt about the real face of modern Russia should bear this in his mind.

I do not think that Russia will initiate war against Azerbaijan like the one it did in Georgia in August of the last year. But undoubtedly it will attempt to create great problems for Azerbaijan", concluded Davitaya.
