I believe in western virtues but due to current political climate they are interpreted as something quite dogmatic, fixed as if it's a catholig dogma in middle ages. I just dont like it when politicians take advantage from such ideas, religions, creed etc. you get the idea. I do believe in the western civilization but the politicians support butchered version of it and expect other fully following fixed western values will bring peace and prosperity all across the world. Countries have different dynamics, different backgrounds and culture therebefore this preaching of orthodox western values is quite stupid not to mention it contradicts the values itself since criticism is one of the core values. Currently EU complaining too much as they afford to preach "friendship&tolerance" since they are not sleeping next to the snakes den.
> In what sense do you mean this?
Russia wont want Turkey-Azerbaijan mainland connection, it opens Turkestan passage which is currently Russians and China's sphere of influence. Also in long run Russia will drift away from China and deal with EU (in 20-30 years probably) so they don't need another contender in there.
> Russia's security guarantees for the project?
They won't guarantee the security of the road when we will be too smart for our own good.
