"Russia's invasion of South Ossetia and Abkhazia and their separation from Georgia create obstacles for the whole region", says a statement, adopted by the Democratic Party of Azerbaijan.

According to it, Russia provoked the Karabakh conflict and instead of settling it, takes all actions to worsen the situation.
"It is proven by the words of Mikhail Alexandrov, chief of the Caucasus department of the CIS Institute. He said instead of the resolution of the Karabakh conflict Azerbaijan must primarily take actions to return its lands, which are part of Georgia, in particular, Marneuli.
This statement can be assessed as follows: Russia wants to cause a crash between Azerbaijan and Georgia and spoil the friendly relations between our states", says the statement.
