Moscow is interested in opening the road to Nakhchyan, the leading analyst of the Carnegie Thomas de Vaal Foundation told the Armenian media.
“Russia is always, and this is already 30 years old, maneuverates between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Of course, there is Moscow interest so that the road to Nakhchivan is open, and so that the security of this road is ensured by the FSB, as written in the 2020 agreement But there is another interest in Moscow so that the mission in Karabakh remains for a longer term, especially after 2025. And, of course, as it was before the war of 2020, I think that Moscow is not against the fact that there was pressure on the Armenians, there is The impression in Baku and in Moscow, that the Armenian side is delaying negotiations, that there is no peaceful interstate agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan. I think that in Moscow and Baku it was expected to be in 2022. But how much they were They want this pressure (on the Armenian side) to continue, it is difficult to say, ”said de Vaal.
