Russia’s stance on the Caucasus remains unchanged, political analyst Sergey Shakaryants said.

“The Caucasus has been and remains Moscow’s shield for against ill-wishing forces,” he said adding that Russia has long perceived Iran as its main regional enemy.

In this context, Shakaryants noted that Russia takes more interest in Armenian foreign rather than domestic policy issues.

According to the expert, the fact that Russia always recognized Armenian elections legitimate testifies to the aforesaid.
