ArmInfo. An absolutely unique situation has been developed in the relations between Yerevan and Moscow, a situation that differs from other CIS countries. This opinion was expressed by the famous analyst Arkady Dubnov on his Facebook page, analyzing the motives of the arrival of the leaders of some CIS countries in Moscow for the May 9 Victory Parade.
According to him, Pashinyan should send a clear message to Putin that the progress on the preparation of a peace agreement with Azerbaijan, which was reached the other day in Washington and will be continued at the personal meeting of the President of Azerbaijan [Ilham] Aliyev with Pashinyan in Brussels next Sunday, does not called into question Russia's influence in the region in the region, and will not harm its interests. And Russia, if it is interested in peace in the South Caucasus, can join the mediation of the West in this matter.
it will become clear to the world that the Armenian-Azerbaijani reconciliation is important for Russia to the extent that it guarantees Russia's interests and its presence in the region and mainly pushes back and defeats the presence and influence of the West.
But, according to the analyst, if Russia does not do so, then it will become clear to the world the Armenian- Azerbaijani reconciliation that for Russia is important insofar as it guarantees Russia's interests and its presence in the region and mainly to push back and weaken the presence and influence of the West. This is a rather delicate point that Pashinyan should discuss with Putin. And this interest is fundamentally different from other interests, Dubnov emphasized.
