Quote :: Moscow. Farid Akbarov – APA. “The reports that Russia has put on an alert its forces in Armenia and will participate in the war against Azerbaijan are groundless. I think that Russia will keep its mediation mission towards the resolution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict, because its alternative can only be war,” Director of the Russian Center for Socio-Political Studies, military expert Vladimir Yevseyev said in his interview to APA.

Expert said if war starts between Azerbaijan and Armenia, it will be waged along the entire Azerbaijan-Armenia border.

“Russia is responsible for the security of Armenia’s territorial integrity. If the war goes beyond Nagorno Karabakh, Russia must join the war. But in this case Turkey will also join the war on the part of Azerbaijan. Russia knows Turkey factor very well and understands that it has no alternative to the mediation in the resolution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Therefore, Russia will continue mediation in the resolution of the conflict,” he said.

Yevseyev noted that in the war in Nagorno Karabakh, Russia can not participate on the part of Armenia.
