The decades-long conflict was settled in favor of
Azerbaijan, as the Armenian authorities were unwilling to make concessions. To
put it simply, this is Vladimir Putin’s stance on the Artsakh issue, which he
directly voiced at the Valdai Discussion Club yesterday.
“We proposed to return five regions and maintain control
over the other two regions so that an unhindered connection between Armenia and
Artsakh would be ensured. And we were offering appropriate security guarantees.
However, the Artsakh side did not agree to this, saying that the plan incurred
risks and that they were ready to fight,” Putin said.
He already openly calls Artsakh the territory of Azerbaijan.
Moreover, he clearly advances the Azerbaijani propaganda thesis for the first
time in these years.
