    Situation in Georgia's South Ossetia hits Armenia - MP



    Yerevan, 9 August: The war in [Georgia's breakaway region of ] South
    Ossetia has already led Armenia to negative consequences, Vahan
    Hovhannesyan, a member of the board and head of the Armenian
    Revolutionary Federation - Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary faction, told
    journalists today. "The situation has become destabilized in [Georgia]
    the country through which our major communication routes pass, and
    this has already had a negative impact on the economic aspect," he
    said.

    Speaking about the political component of the South Ossetian issue and
    possible parallels between it and the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict, the
    MP said that Azerbaijan is not Georgia and if [the Azerbaijani
    capital] Baku was able to do that, it would have settled the Nagornyy
    Karabakh issue militarily long ago.

    "At present the gates to Nagornyy Karabakh are fully closed, and if
    Azerbaijan wishes to open them, they [Azerbaijanis] will receive an
    appropriate, if not a more powerful military response," Hovhannesyan
    said.
