The name "Nagorno Karabakh" was missing everywhere in the words of Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the meeting in Sochi on October 31 and in the text of the tripartite declaration.

Moreover, paying attention to the statements of the Russian President, we see that he uses the name "Karabakh" selectively. In the "Valdai" club, Putin used the wording "Karabakh," intentionally or unintentionally omitting the "Mountain" part. Armenian pro-Russian circles seized that episode with great enthusiasm. They began to contrast it with the West on media platforms and in public speech, resulting in the fact that there is no mention of Nagorno Karabakh in the Western version of the settlement. Here, the Russian president is talking about it.

However, the meeting in Sochi brought a surprise in this respect. There was no mention of Nagorno Karabakh in the text of the published statement. In the section about the Russian peacekeeping mission, the amorphous formulation "deployment zone" is used. And where is that zone? For a reader unfamiliar with the history and political geography of the region, that part of the text of the statement is entirely incomprehensible. The name "location zone" can perhaps also be understood as some corner on the Moon or Mars, considering the unprecedented technological achievements of human civilization in the 21st century. Russia cannot force or at least convince Azerbaijan to use the name "Nagorno Karabakh" under other provisions of the tripartite statements. However, isn't it strange that Russia faces the same problem even when mentioning the location of Russian peacekeepers? Does the Russian state not think that the location of its peacekeeper should be recorded on paper and made known to the world? Does the Russian President rule out that tomorrow or the next day, Azerbaijan, based on these kinds of statements, will start claiming that there is no name of the location of the peacekeepers, so there should not be a peacekeeper in that "virtual zone of influence?"

However, what can be assumed in this situation? Putin uses double talk. In Valda, in the absence of Ilham Aliyev, he uses the wording "Karabakh." In Sochi, in the presence of the leader of Azerbaijan, he not only does not use it but even resorts to such an exotic trick in the text of the announcement. It is interesting, however, that the Russian media, when presenting Putin's speech, used the term "Nagorno Karabakh" or "Karabakh" in almost all places, attributing its use to the Russian president. Meanwhile, the decoding of the videos proves the opposite. The reader who has not watched the video version of the speech will not even know that Putin did not use that wording.
