Chairman of the Committee for Veteran Issues, former President of Ingushetia Ruslan Aushev, who is in Baku at present, highlighted Russia's role as the assignee of the USSR in Karabakh conflict settlement. When touching upon the transportation of the Russian military equipment to Armenia, R. Aushev said, "How can the problem be settled if the conflicting parties are arming? If there is a conflict between two states no military aid should be rendered to them. The problem should be resolved peacefully."
