ArmInfo. Relations between Armenia and Russia rather seem to be
relations between power representatives, members of power ministries
and oligarchs. Imperfection, instability and sometimes archaism of
institutes do not allow to speak of successful institutionalization
of our cooperation, expert of the Armenian Center for Political and
International Studies Ruben Mehrabyan said today in Yerevan during a
one- day research-to-practice conference "Russia and Armenia in the
world and regional politics: problems and prospects".
"Therefore, the real deeds, based on a mutual respect of real and
legal interests, are often replaced by ritual phrases about eternal
friendship, which bear no relation to the real policy in the current
format of interstate relations", he said. According to Mehrabyan,
the Russian president's vision of problems and their solution ways in
Russia serves a basis for a new political paradigm which is appropriate
to the 21st century and is able to change the state of affairs not
only in Russia but also in the whole post-Soviet space.
Armenia faces the same challenges in the 21st century which require
similar approaches for their overcoming, surely, corrected to the
difference of scales.
The "Eurasian Research Institute" non-commercial organization is
organizer of the afore- mentioned conference. A number of experts
and political experts from Russia and Armenia, as well as Russia's
Ambassador to Armenia Vyacheslav Kovalenko took part in the conference.
