Baku hopes that Russia will make more efforts for the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and will make them more efficient, Azerbaijani Presidential Administration Social and Political Department Chief Ali Hasanov said on Monday. Hasanov made this statement in response to the question what to expect in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution during the period of Vladimir Putin's presidency.
"I believe that if Russia will not be even more active in this matter and will not increase its efforts in resolving the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, neither the OSCE nor its Minsk Group, nor other international organizations can achieve serious progress in this sphere," Hasanov underscored.
He underlined that Russia has significant leverage over Armenia in all political, economic, social, military, geopolitical and security issues, and therefore, Russia may turn it to a constructive course exerting significant pressure on Armenia.
"We do not want more from Armenia - we want it to take a constructive position in the negotiations, withdraw occupation troops from Azerbaijani territories and create the conditions for the restoration of civil, national and ethnic rights of both Azerbaijanis and Armenians residing in Nagorno-Karabakh," Hasanov added.
