17 September 2009 [14:55] - TODAY.AZ
Vladimir Zhirinovsky's opinion on Nagorno-Karabakh stated in an interview with News-Armenia does not reflect position of the Kremlin, Russian Ambassador to Azerbaijan said Vladimir Dorokhin said.
"Vladimir Zhirinovsky is a representative of an opposition party, and he has a position in the State Duma thanks to the Russian system, which allows representatives of the major parties hold positions in the Duma," Dorokhin said.

Deputy Chairman of the Russian State Duma, Leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, Vladimir Zhirinovsky said in his interview with News-Armenia that the Nagorno-Karabakh is the native Armenian lands.

"And if we help to return them to Azerbaijan, it will again be a confrontation between Armenia and Azerbaijan. To talk about federation with them or that it will be broad autonomy - is the same question, as with the Abkhazians and Ossetians," he said.

The ambassador said Zhirinovsky's opinion on Nagorno-Karabakh is not the Kremlin's position.
