BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 4. NATO seeks to
introduce its contingent in Transcaucasia under the guise of
peacekeepers, the Director of Russia's federal Security Service
(FSS) Alexander Bortnikov said at a meeting of the Council of Heads
of Security Bodies and Special Services of the CIS, which is taking
place in Astana, Trend reports.
“The Americans and Europeans are clearly not interested in
establishing stability in Transcaucasia. Inclining Yerevan to delay
negotiations with Baku, the West is trying to lead the process of
Azerbaijani-Armenian settlement and to achieve the deployment of
its own“peacekeeping” contingent in the region - de jure under the
aegis of the UN, and de facto - NATO,” he said.
Bortnikov emphasized that the possible nature of such
“peacekeeping” is indicated by the fact that the so-called
independent civilian observation mission of the EU deployed on the
border of Armenia and Azerbaijan is conducting intelligence
activities in the interests of a particular NATO country against
Russia and our partners.
As the head of the FSS pointed out, in exchange for favorable
arms supplies and security guarantees, the West seeks the Armenian
government's withdrawal from the CSTO, which will make Yerevan even
more dependent on the North Atlantic Alliance for its future
relations with Baku.
“Taking into account all the previous experience of NATO
mediation in various regions of the world, the block's entrenchment
in Transcaucasia will obviously not contribute to stability in the
region. Assessing the results of our interaction with the Americans
and their allies on various issues, we have come to an unambiguous
conclusion - the things that Western partners demand from others,
they do not fulfill and are never going to fulfill,” Bortnikov
added.
