YEREVAN, OCTOBER 6, NOYAN TAPAN. "I agree to the viewpoint of a
number of Russian media that if danger threatens some country, this
accelerates the process of this country's admission to NATO." Stepan
Zakarian, member of the People's Party of Armenia, member of the
Ardarutiun (Justice) NA faction, declared at the October 6 discussion
at the Pakagits club dedicated to home and foreign political problems.
He expressed confidence that the Georgian events initiated by President
M.Sahakashvili were aimed at the very acceleration of the process of
Georgia's joining NATO. S.Zakarian expressed anxiety about further
aggravation of Russian-Georgian relations and their possible impact
on Armenia. As he estimated, Armenia will suffer more from this than
Georgia. "The West, first of all the U.S. may express readiness to
compensate to Georgia the damage from blockade by Russia and who
compensates the damages of Armenia?" S.Zakarian said.
Grigor Ghonjeyan, member of the United Labor Party parliamentary
faction, also considers that aggravation of Russian-Georgian relations
will have a negative impact on hard socio-economic state of the
majority of Armenia's population.
Both MPs held the same opinion, according to which home political
situation in the country will aggravate on the background of the
parliamentary elections to be held in 2007 spring. G.Ghonjeyan
expressed anxiety that the Armenian public lacks realization of
importance of the forthcoming elections and their significance for
the country's future.
