ArmInfo. Armenian-Russian relations are far from brilliant, although some persist in their characterization of them. Hero of the Artsakh War, Major General Arkady Ter- Tadevosyan expressed a similar opinion to ArmInfo.
"It seems to me that our relations with Russia have significantly weakened. And despite the fact that we all pretend that this is not the case, some political forces in Armenia are quite actively working to undermine the Armenian-Russian relations. Against this background, Russia has significantly improved relations with Azerbaijan. It is clear that these relations are abundantly flavored with oil and petrodollars, it is also clear that Armenia is deprived of such resources, "he stressed.
Ter-Tadevosyan, however, does not expect the resumption of hostilities around Nagorno-Karabakh, due to the lack of international consensus on this issue. According to his forecasts, neither Azerbaijan nor Armenia is capable of declaring war independently in today's international relations, only groups of states can take such a step.
The Commando is convinced that there are no intentions to resume military operations around Karabakh from Armenia. According to his estimates, Yerevan is committed to an exclusively peaceful solution to the conflict with Azerbaijan. Welcoming the intention of the Armenian authorities to return Stepanakert to the negotiating table, Ter-Tadevosyan does not expect changes in the negotiation format, at least in the coming years.
