Speaking about French President Nicolas Sarkozy's visit to Armenia,
Director of the Caucasus Institute Alexander Iskandaryan said it
solves political issues, as well. "Sarkozy's rating is not that high,
and this will help him get the votes of the powerful Armenian community
of France."
Director of the Caucasus Institute says Sarkozy has serious issues
to discuss in the South Caucasus. It's not a secret that the West has
energy interests in Azerbaijan. In case of Georgia Sarkozy is not just
a President of another country, he is a person directly involved in
solving the Russian-Georgian crisis.
Speaking about the recent developments in Russia, the political
scientist said "the changes will in no way affect the Armenian-Russian
relations."
As for the application of the Russian scenario in Armenia, Iskandaryan
said the situations in the two countries are incomparable and there are
no similarities even if Robert Kocharyan decided to return to politics.
