/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Negative emotions about decoration of Georgian
President Mikheil Saakashvili with Armenian Order of Honor are
exaggerated, a Russian expert said.
"Symbols are traditionally important in politics. But to be
honest, the Order of Honor was not the best choice for the Georgian
President. Nevertheless, I would not overestimate the significance
of this symbolic act," said Andrey Areshev, deputy director general
of the Strategic Culture Foundation.
"Managing to retain power in his country, Saakashvili is still an
important factor in regional politics. He still enjoys the west's
support and rearms his army. So, Russia should decide who will be its
political and diplomatic ally if hostilities resume in the Caucasus,"
he said, Analitika.at.ua reported.
