“There could be no radical change in the orientation by Russia in principle: a transition from Armenia in favor of Azerbaijan.
Russia has its own interests with Azerbaijan and Armenia. Moscow will not make radical moves,” – said Sergey Markedonov, Associate Professor of the Russian State University for Humanities and Russian political scientist, in an interview with “Aravot”, and adds, – “Rumors that Moscow will make friends with Azerbaijan and abandon Armenia are absolutely groundless because Moscow does not live in an abstract world, there are definite interests, curiosities, as to what benefit it will have in the case of reorientation, I do not see it. I believe that people in the Kremlin are not so stupid not to see benefits in such possible changes. There will be relations with Armenia, Azerbaijan, and different with each one, with a special relationship with each one.”
