Russia ` Armenia military cooperation
By Messenger Staff Thursday, July 22
Armenian analyst David Petrosyan thinks that Armenia should not hurry
to resolve the Karabakh conflict or follow the advice of other parties
but put its own national interests first. Armenia should take into
account Russia's steps to come closer economically to Azerbaijan and
Turkey but it remains the only military ally of the Russian Federation
in the region. No economic incentives at any level could make any
other country replace Armenia as a military ally.
Petrosyan also thinks that the West lacks the resources to resolve
Caucasus problems while it is deeply involved in Afghanistan, Iraq and
combating international terrorism. The world economic crisis is
another serious problem which has not yet been solved.
