RUSSIA TO ALWAYS BE IN CAUCASUS: RUSSIA'S AMBASSADOR TO ARMENIA
YEREVAN, DECEMBER 24. ARMINFO. Russia has been, is and will be in
the Caucasus, says Russia's Ambassador to Armenia Anatoly Dryukov.
The US activity in the South Caucasus is not a secret. The last NATO
Istanbul Summit declared that South Caucasus and Central Asia are
priority regions for NATO and its members. This is a big paradox -
the moment Russia starts asserting its interests in the post-Soviet
area the West begins to cry that this is neo-imperialism even though
Russia belongs to this region. While the interests of the countries
situated thousands km away are taken absolutely calmly.
"Russia is a Caucasian state and nobody will manage to drive it
northward of the Caucasian Mountains," says Dryukov.
