YEREVAN.- The Karabakh peace process will undergo certain changes
after Vladimir Putin takes up the office, Armenian political analyst
Richard Giragosian told journalists on Thursday.
"Putin's style is different. He will insert pressure on Sargsyan
and Aliyev rather than shake their hands. Taking into account not so
close relations between Sargsyan and Putin, pressure will less affect
the Armenian side," said Giragosian, Director of the Armenia-based
Regional Studies Center.
The expert stressed that less warlike statements were voiced by
Azerbaijan during the recent Sochi meeting. The world community and
the OSCE Minsk Group have explained that such statements are dangerous,
he said.
"Armenia continues to strengthen its foreign policy. Armenia is
becoming a country of strategic importance," he added.
