President Mikheil Saakashvili's recent speech to the Azeri Parliament
has caused a stir among Armenian commentators. Armenian analyst David
Aruzumanyan believes that Saakashvili's anti-Russian statements
are an attempt to revive the role of Georgia in the region. He
also suggests that cooperation between Baku, Tbilisi, and Ankara is
targeted both towards decreasing the role of Russia in the region,
and also isolating Armenia, a Russian ally.
