The statement by three Co-Chairing Presidents of the OSCE Minsk Group Presidents Vladimir Putin, Barack Obama and Francois Hollande at the G20 summit in Los Cabos, Mexico repeats the many previous remarks on Karabakh settlement, according to RA NAS Oriental Studies Institute representative.
As Andrey Areshev told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, the statement was issued on the background of increased U.S. presence in South Caucasus and adjacent regions, which affects Russia’s interests.
“Recently, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov positively assessed the activities of Minsk Group, which we cited as an effective model of cooperation between Moscow and Washington.
However, concealing different directions in Russia and U.S. policies becomes increasingly difficult. If Moscow is interested in preservation of stability, U.S. is all for “creative” management of the stability. Which means there’s a big difference between the statements and the reality behind them,” the expert said.
