[REGNUM] The results of a survey of Russians conducted at the end of September regarding their attitude towards the parties to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict showed that 74% of compatriots do not sympathize with either Azerbaijan or Armenia. Another 8% found it difficult to answer. However, of the 18% who decided, 10% sided with Azerbaijan, and only 8% were for Armenia. Previously, the numbers were different - Russians sympathized with Armenians much more than with Azerbaijanis. In 2016, the balance was 15% versus 4%, and in 2020 – 15% versus 6%. And these arrangements were considered logical. After all, Armenia was an ally of Russia, and Azerbaijan was a satellite of Turkey. There was a Russian base in Armenia, but Azerbaijan did not have one. Armenian-controlled Nagorno-Karabakh was one of the most pro-Russian regions, while a “Turkic world” was being built in Azerbaijan. Finally, the Armenians were Christians, and the Azerbaijanis were Muslims.
