Konstantin Zatulin: ``Azerbaijan did not win, but sowed dragon`s  teeth``

ArmInfo. "The parade in Baku makes it clear whose ally Azerbaijan is in fact. The fact of this union was attested even earlier and manifested itself in many ways. In particular, Baku and Ankara coordinate policy in the Caucasus and act jointly>, as  reported on the website of the Lazarev Club, said its co-founder,  first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on CIS Affairs,  Eurasian Integration and Relations with Compatriots Konstantin  Zatulin on the TV channel NSN.

He noted that despite the fact that statements were made in Moscow  that Azerbaijan and Armenia are equally close to Russia, in fact, the  country's top leadership understands the difference between these  countries, but propagandists and interpreters did not always  understand it. The parliamentarian also explained why the result of  the war in Karabakh should not be considered beneficial for  Azerbaijan.  <Azerbaijan did not win, but sowed the dragon's teeth.  He alerted Russia, generated a wave hatred against him in Armenia and  the states sympathetic to it. No wonder that France and the  Netherlands make appropriate statements. This "victory" may boomerang  back to Turkey. For example, it has occupied Northern Cyprus since  1974. Erdogan used criticize the Karabakh settlement process for  taking so long.  How long does Cypriot settlement last? 20 years  longer, "Zatulin recalled.

The lawmaker believes that from now on Russia needs to intensify its  policy in the Caucasus. "Only the position of Russia prevented  Azerbaijan's attack against Armenia. Although there were isolated  episodes, including the downed Russian helicopter on the territory of  Armenia. All this allows us to say that there is no alternative to  the peacekeeping operation of Russia, and the presence of Russia in  the Caucasus must be strengthened. It is necessary to strategically  consider Azerbaijan as a problem country, "the parliamentarian said.

In addition, Zatulin expressed his opinion on Aliyev's words about  the historically Azerbaijani lands in Armenia. <In any analysis, this  is an unmasked territorial claim. This is not the first time that  Azerbaijan has unreasonably appropriated the history of settlement in  these lands. In fact, the ancestors of the Azerbaijanis appeared  there in the XII century, but the Armenian historical monuments were  in Karabakh before. Nevertheless, Baku calls them Albanian, "the  lawmaker said. The parliamentarian also criticized Erdogan's call to  Armenia to "to come to senses". <This is yet another bragging from  the Turkish leader. He deliberately bully Armenia and flatters his  ego. Aliyev is doing the same. They show disregard for the feelings  of another nation who has got in their way, "he said.

Zatulin told whether Moscow should more clearly state its defense of  Armenia. "Russia has already stated it, it follows from cooperation  within the framework of the CSTO. It's another matter that today we  are talking not only about Armenia, but also Nagorno-Karabakh. Moscow  should remember its obligations not to Armenia, but to the entire  Armenian people, "he concluded.
