According to him, there are many reasons for it. "The West is wallowed in other problems - Iraq, Afghanistan, peace negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians, Iran's nuclear problem.

Of course, it can have an impact, but today it is not ready to act under conditions of the actual crisis," 1news.az quoted LeVine as saying.
