    RUSSIANS NEEDN'T BE JEALOUS

    Lragir/am
    21 March 06

    On March 14 and 15 the tenth sitting of the Russian-Armenian
    Parliamentary Commitee took place in Moscow. On March 21 Vahan
    Hovanisyan, Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, the head of the
    Armenian delegation, informed about the results of the sitting.

    "The work of the Russian-Armenian Parliamentary Committee is becoming
    more effective, this is the evaluation of the Russian party,"
    reported Vahan Hovanisyan. The speaker did not say what standards of
    effectiveness the Russians applied; however, he told what the Armenians
    had explained to Russians rather than what had been discussed. "We
    kindle tensions, problems are not a reason to be insulted." For
    instance, they said our bilateral relations do not depend on us only,
    because there are two countries between our countries, one of these
    has problems with Russia, the other is openly hostile towards Armenia.

    They also explained that Armenians have never been happy about ferry
    services across the Black Sea, because thus the hope for operating the
    Abkhazian railroad fades away. Besides, the ferry is not efficient and
    does not justify itself. "Goods are not transported from Armenia. The
    prices are too high. The importance of cutting prices was set down
    in the document adopted by the committee, which will be extended to
    the Russian government. If only the political component is viewed
    in the ferry, it will not work. The ferry services must be rendered
    profitable." And the hope for operation of the Abkhazian railroad fades
    due to the initiative of the Russia-Iran communication via Azerbaijan.

    Armenians are concerned publicly.

    The Russians were informed that the Armenian businessmen working
    in blockade for 15 years have found alternative ways. In general,
    the Armenians have explained and proposed to the Russians not to
    feel jealous when Armenia seeks for alternatives in communications,
    energy sources and other sphere.

    In Russian-Armenian relations Armenia is to blame for education
    only. In Russian authoritative universities provide 50 scholarships
    to Armenia, but these places remain empty.
