The Wall Street Journal has recently published an article by Svante Cornell, a co-founder of the Stockholm Institute for Security and Development Policy, where Russian President Vladimir Putin was said to be allegedly paying pro-Russian opposition, public and national minorities of Georgia and Azerbaijan.
Alexey Vlasov, executive director of the North-South Center for Political Analysis, commented that the depiction of Russia as a source of instability in the South Caucasus was unsurprising because Washington and experts serving its interests had been worried about the activation of Russia in the post-Soviet space for quite a while.
According to Vlasov, efforts of the US to stop Russian integration processes that could end the unipolar world order forced political analysts to pay special attention to the Caucasus and Central Asia. The executive director believes that such articles were composed to ruin relations between Baku, Tbilisi and Yerevan.
