Armenia can play a serious role in the normalization of the
Russia-Georgia relations, according to Alik Eroyants, a political
analyst.
At a news conference on Tuesday, the expert said that that the
opening of a railroad between Russia and Georgia will bring great
economic benefits to the two countries. As for Azerbaijan, he said
the country's role in the process of zero importance.
It comes after Georgia's Reintegration Minister Paata Zakareishvili
stressed the importance of the railroad project in an interview with
the Russian Komersant.
Eroyants thinks that Georgia's new cabinet, led by
billionaire-turned-politician Bidzina Ivanishvili, will first seek
to establish economic ties with Russia.
"There has been no serious response by Russia in that direction
so far, so it is not easy to predict the country's stance in such
circumstances," he added.
Johnny Melikyan, another expert attending the news conference, said
Georgia is now waiting for Russia's response. He also called for
keeping the US presidential elections in mind.
"In case Obama is elected, the relations with Russia will be the same,
but they may deteriorate in case Romney wins presidency," he said.
