    RUSSIA GRADUALLY DISTANCES ITSELF FROM THE SOUTH CAUCASUS: ARMENIAN POLITICAL EXPERT

    Yerevan, December 26. ArmInfo. Russia gradually distances itself from
    the South Caucasus, said Alexander Iskandaryan, Director of Caucasian
    Media Institute, political expert, at Friday Club, Tuesday.

    He said that from the point of view of economic cooperation, the
    European community is a more important partner for Armenia. As regards
    the cultural commonness with Russia, it embraces rather the older
    generation than young. At the same time, the political expert admits
    that Russia occupies leading positions for Armenia in the issues of
    military-political cooperation.

    In response to ArmInfo's question regarding the frequent murders of
    Armenians in Russia on the ground of national intolerance and the
    respond of the Armenian authorities to them, Alexander Iskandaryan
    said: "Harsh statements by the authorities could be an adequate
    respond. However, it would not be enough to provide security to
    Armenians in Russia. This will just damage the relations with Moscow,
    which is not desirable for Yerevan. From this point of view, the
    position of our leadership is rational. It is just like the behavior
    of an ostrich." He noted that during the pogroms of 1993-1994 and
    deportation of Armenians, no representatives of the Russian media
    wrote about those events. Now, the picture is quite different due to a
    "flash" in the consciousness of Armenians.
