YEREVAN. - CIS has partially solved the issue of keeping back the
former Soviet states from major changes, Armenian Heritage Party MP
Stepan Safaryan told Armenian News-NEWS.am commenting on the CIS 20
years of activity.
`Regarding the future expectations of the institution, there are not
so much. CIS gives an opportunity to contact former Soviet states, and
hold discussions. However, there is no serious issue that CIS solved
for Armenia,' the MP said and added that CIS will operate as long as
Russia needs it.
Among CIS member states only Azerbaijan may want its collapse. It is
still a member of CIS only because Armenia is also its member. Second,
being out of the institutions means being against Russia.
Dushanbe hosted on Saturday the leaders of CIS states for the 20th
anniversary summit. Presidents of Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and Belarus
do not participate in the summit. Armenian president arrived in the
capital city of Tajikistan in previous day.
