    IN OPINION OF ALEXANDER ISKANDARIAN, ARMENIA TOOK CORRECT POSITION DURING CONFLICT IN SOUTH OSSETIA

    YEREVAN, AUGUST 26, NOYAN TAPAN. The Armenian government took quite a
    correct position during the conflict between Georgia and South Ossetia.

    Political scientist Alexander Iskandarian expressed this opinion at the
    August 26 press conference. In his words, under such circumstances it
    was necessary not to interfere in the events and to wait for passions
    to calm down - just the way Armenia has behaved. In the opinion of
    A. Iskandarian, the South Ossetian developments have changed the
    South Caucasian region: Georgia has weakened, and Russia's role has
    changed in the region.

    In his opinion, Turkey is also trying to change its role in the South
    Caucasus. In this respect, according to him, Armenia should be able
    to make use of the existing situation. "Armenia should maintain its
    relations with all states, including the West, and show the maximum
    caution," he said, adding that Russia-Georgia and U.S.-Iran relations
    affect Armenia but the country is trying to keep its relations with
    each of these states.

    A. Iskandarian said that the issue of recognition of Nagorno
    Karabakh's independence by Armenia has no relation to the recognition
    of independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. In his words, this
    only forms a "background" for thinking so. "The recognition of
    the NKR by Armenia is of no importance in terms of international
    recognition. Azerbaijan should first of all of do it, while in case
    of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, Georgia should recognize, which in
    its turn will cause a wave of recognitions," he noted.
