Military expert: Russia can take the path of forcing the parties to  peace

ArmInfo. Already today, one can state the failure of Baku's intentions to achieve great results through lightning war. And this is despite the enormous efforts and  resources put in this direction, including technical and terrorist  ones. A similar opinion was expressed to ArmInfo by the head of the  department of Eurasian integration and development of the SCO of the  Institute of the CIS countries, military expert Vladimir Evseev.

"The war dragged on, and its intensity subsided due to the stubborn  military, political and diplomatic opposition of the defending side.  Baku's plans failed, which put their organizers into a state of  uncertainty.  Moreover, in the recent period, the terrorist threat  has received a completely new perception in the world.  And this is  by no means not into the hands of Azerbaijan, "he said.

Evseev explains the impossibility of holding negotiations between the  parties to the conflict at this stage by the lack of a balance of  interests. All this is taking place against the backdrop of intensive  negotiations between Baku and Ankara in order to find a way out of  the situation. And of course, it leads to an ever greater growth of  Turkish influence in Azerbaijan. According to him, in turn, Russia is  quite capable at any moment to follow the path of forcing the parties  to peace. And of course, I am ready to fulfill all my obligations to  protect Armenia.

According to the expert, today Moscow is exerting not only diplomatic  but also political pressure on Turkey. This is expressed by periodic  statements about the presence of terrorists in the conflict zone, as  well as by certain measures in northern Syria.

Meanwhile, this region is a vulnerable zone for Turkey, since it is  there that the Turkish military is concentrated.

According to him, the armaments of the Russian army make it possible  to carry out any operations on the territory of Syria and not only  Syria. In this light, Moscow continues to negotiate with Ankara on  the need to neutralize terrorist activity, both in this region and in  Artsakh. Yevseev explains the latter by making decisions on the  situation in Artsakh exclusively by Ankara.

"It is necessary to understand that negotiations with Turkey on the  situation in Artsakh are not easy for us.  The point is that  Russian-Turkish relations are not limited to Artsakh. These relations  are quite voluminous and complex. In this light, a concession in one  region of the conflict may turn into another and on the contrary.  Accordingly, Moscow continues to make efforts to avoid further  destabilization and reach a result exclusively through and within the  framework of the diplomatic process, " Evseev summed up.
