MOSCOW. – Russia will continue supporting the current status-quo in the Caucasus for holding the Sochi Olympiad in peace, as well as not to allow interference of the third party and to limit the U. S. access, political scientist Vitaly Tretyakov said in an interview to 1news.az.

“Russia’s incumbent President Putin cannot think otherwise regarding the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process but of its status-quo and everlasting talks. Anything is acceptable but no war. Even if a new serious conflict emerges, Russia will support Armenia officially as both states are within the CIS and unofficially due to psychological point of view. At the same time, Russia does not want to make such a choice, hence, permanent and everlasting talks are expected,” he said.
