Armenia is striving to deal with Russia as an anticipated partner,
Director of the Caucasus Institute Alexander Iskandaryan said during
the Feb 6 Yerevan-Moscow-Kiev-Astana-Kishinev video-bridge when
speaking of Moscow's further policy with Vladimir Putin's return to
the Kremlin.
"Armenia borders with such countries as Iran, Turkey, Azerbaijan,
Georgia. Naturally, under these conditions, the republic attaches
much importance to the forecastability, conformism and reliability
of relations with these countries. The same can be said about Russia.
Certainly, one cannot speak of big changes in the Russian policy in
the South Caucasus and post-Soviet space in general, because the
office making decisions on the key issues has not changed much",
Iskandaryan said.
For his part, Russian political expert Sergei Mikheev, Director
of the Center for Political Conjuncture, pointed out that Putin's
election as president will stimulate integration processes in the
post-Soviet space, which are connected with the Russian premier's
idea about creation of the Eurasian Union.
To recall, when asked about his first international visit after
assuming the presidential office, Putin said on March 5: "The absolute
priority is the CIS".
