Russia's role in the region and in the settlement of the Karabakh
conflict is huge, former foreign minister of Nagorno Karabakh Arman
Melikyan told a news conference today, adding that Russia is the only
state in the region having military presence. "It is of military and
strategic significance for Armenia that raised a big number of mutual
arrangements, though the Armenian-Russian relations have not developed
slowly," he said adding that on the threshold of electoral phase all
the political forces are trying in this or that way register their
friendly, close relations with Russia.
He said it is being done both by the authorities and the opposition.
"The possible success of this or that political figure in Armenia
depends from the attitude of Russia," Melikyan expressed opinion,
reminding that the ANC figures also visited Moscow and afterward
stated that they have warm and practical relations with Russia. "It is
understandable as Armenia ties about the 50% of the economic issues
with this neighboring country especially in the energy sphere which
is of strategic significance," Melikyan said.
