KOMMERSANT SAYS MOSCOW WILL USE ARMENIA FOR PUTTING PRESSURE ON GEORGIA
Daily Georgian Times, Georgia
Oct 30 2006
According to the Russian business daily Kommersant Moscow will use
Armenia for putting pressure on Georgia.
The Newspaper issue of Monday morning views the forthcoming visit
of Robert Kocharyan, president of Armenia, to Moscow scheduled for
October 30-31. Robert Kocharyan is scheduled to meet Vladimir Putin,
Russian president, on Monday evening. The sides will presumably speak
about Georgia.
"Kremlin searches for methods to put pressure on self-confident
Mikheil Saakashvili, president of Georgia," the newspaper reads.
The Kommersant does not exclude that Moscow will ask Armenia to
arrange 'disorder' in Samtskhe-Javakheti region, where about 200
ethnic Armenians live.
Georgian experts reckon that 'disorders' are not excluded in the
region as Armenia depends on Russia politically and economically. On
the other hand it is not profitable for Armenia to tense relations
with Georgia as the only way it is connected with Europe and Russia
goes through Georgia.
