Head of International Relations Department of Azerbaijani Presidential Administration Novruz Mammadov believes world's leading countries want stability on the South Caucasus for their own interests.

"Unfortunately, maybe the conflicts in the region appeared due to the interests of these countries. The South Caucasus is on the focus of attention of the world's leading countries because of its geo-strategic position. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's statement on Russia's support to solution of the conflicts on the South Caucasus was expected," Mammadov told official website of ruling New Azerbaijan Party.

During his visit to Turkey Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said active work is underway to resolve [Armenia-Azerbaijan] Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Turkish Anadolu news agency reported.

"Serious work is being done to settle the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and there is serious progress in this regard. Moscow is eager to see rapid resolution of the conflict," Putin added.

Mammadov appraised Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's statement on solution of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which he made during his visit to Turkey. "This fact showed that Russia is supporter of the solution," Mammadov added.

The sides have special interests on the solution of Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Azerbaijan tries to harmonize these interests and solve this conflict in the interests of statehood, Mammadov said.

Major countries are also interested in solution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. So, influence on Armenia by these countries is increasing.
