THE CIS AND BALTIC PRESS ON RUSSIA
[parts omitted]
ARMENIA
Armenian media are convinced that the republic will become the next
post-Soviet country to have a "color" revolution, but blame the
deterioration of its situation on the geopolitical scene not on the
republican authorities but on Russia.
They sharply criticize Russia's actions within the Enterprises for
Debts program. "The Russian government has decided to write off a
part of Ethiopian debts, with the remaining $160 million of the total
of $1.26 billion to be repaid within 30 years. But it has taken over
five major enterprises for Armenia's $100-million debt, probably
because the Ethiopian authorities, unlike the Armenian ones, do not
need the Kremlin assistance to remain in power." (Aikakan Zhamanak
