World Armenian Congress criticizes Russia
By M. Alkhazashvili
(Translated by Tiko Giorgadze)
Armenia is concerned about the ongoing Russian blockade imposed on
Georgia. President of the World Armenian Congress, Ara Abramian,
urges Armenia to explain to Russia that economic sanctions against
Georgia hurt damage not only Georgia, but Armenia as well.
"We should explain to Russia that Georgia is not hurt by the closing
of the Zemo Larsi checkpoint, but it creates problems for Armenia, a
strategic partner of Russia. Before taking that step, Russia should
have tried to provide us with some kind of corridor," Abramian said.
"Armenia should develop its relations with Georgia further," he said,
as quoted by the newspaper Rezonansi.
