Armenia Remains Russia's Only Political Ally in South Caucasus
15.12.2006 15:56 GMT+04:00
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russia has failed to elaborate a strategy on the
South Caucasian states and this resulted in indistinct foreign policy
towards these states, head of the center of Caucasian Studies at the
Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO) Vladimir
Zakharov said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net. `I can say that
Russia assumed a strange and temporizing position. Absence of precise
interests in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia leads to wrong
decisions. With all responsibility I say that Russia has maintained
one political ally in the South Caucasus - Armenia. On one hand it
gratifies but on the other hand it upsets because during the recent
decade our foreign policy and economic relations led not to
development of ties with Russia but worsened them. Hasty decisions of
the Russian government forced the Armenian people and power structures
to turn to other political players,' he said.
