In his opinion, if there are other mediators in this issue, such as Turks or Americans, “the conflict begins to bring in an effect of internationalization, for each party has ambitions of its own.”
“Both the Armenians and Azeris know about Russian ambitions, they have gotten used to them, and it is easier to come to terms with Russia as to the limit of these ambitions, just like we know the ambitions of the Armenians and the ambitions of the Azeris,” Rogozin stated.
Rogozin emphasized that the need for cooperation between Armenia and Russia to ensure regional security in the Transcaucasus, and that it is a crucial time for Armenia as everybody is waiting for results from the Key West, Florida meeting.
Rogozin also pointed out that Karabakh-related problems are urgent for Russia as well. Russia also has an enclave, the Kaliningrad region, and it is interested in maintaining a tie between the mainland and its enclave territory.
Rogozin met with President Robert Kocharian on March 31. The presidential press service quoted Kocharian underlining the importance of boosting interparliamentary relations.
Highly appreciating Armenian-Russian strategic cooperation, both sides pointed out the significance of expanding mutual cooperation within various international organizations, exchange of information as well as holding regular inter-parliamentary meetings. They also spoke about the foreign policy priorities of the two countries and exchanged views on prospects of CIS development.
