    Controversial relations have been formed between Russia and Armenia,
    which will anyway lead to more serious conflicts and problems. In
    the current situation of mutual suspicion and understatement, it is
    impossible to try to build partner relationship.

    The Russian-Armenian relations are often called strategic, but we
    need to take into account that besides the volume of indicators and
    contractual framework, the strategic relations suppose mutual trust.

    Not only trust, but also understanding of political priorities of
    each other. Hence, is it necessary to deepen the chronically confirmed
    situation and make our enemies happy?

    Russians and Armenians have relations on all the level of politics
    and daily life, but it would be a sign of narrow-minded thinking if we
    attached decisive role to this. The best the official and non-official
    contact may offer is stupid, not meaningful feast and rave version
    of politics, diplomacy, public relations.

    We can't say that people, engaged in the filling of the "daily
    stupidity", are bad. Not at all, they are even friendly people, true,
    who are used to comfort. When a catastrophic collapse of relations
    happens between Russia and Armenia, no one will remember or find the
    rave figures.

    It is completely clear that the national interests of Russia and
    Armenia, in certain directions, don't match, but at the same time,
    these issues are not discussed at the official level, and there is
    no intention to discuss them at all.

    As we know, certain lines of relationship are formed between Russia and
    Poland, which involve many layers of the society, the church and the
    intelligentsia. Despite the four decades of partner relations between
    Poland and Russia, during the communistic period, both countries and
    nations chose the "free floating" in mutual hatred and anger.

    Sure, concrete formats are incompatible, and the Polish-Russian problem
    has a European significance, and the Russian-Armenian relationship has
    local (regional) significance, but in geopolitics, quite unpleasant
    and dangerous trends appear. So, it would be good to follow the unique
    Polish-Russian experience and resort to the clarification of issues
    between Armenia and Russia exceptionally in the political sense. (For
    example, such a dialogue was proposed to the Armenian organizations
    by Kurdish political figures).

    What is the aim? The main aim is to pass from "brother" relations,
    which have become dangerous and disputable, to political relations.

    Along with this, the impression is that someone is not interested in
    this at all and torpedoes such initiatives. Do we deal with personal
    egoistic mercantile interest or with strategic calculation? It would
    be good to find this out too. Perhaps, it looks more than a trivial.

    As a Moscow political scientist, integrated in the state spheres,
    said "we are tired, we want to sleep". If someone is really tired and
    wants to sleep, then, what should we talk about? In such a large and
    different country as Russia, there are various people and conditions,
    and if someone is "tired", then they need to either retire or to go
    jail, or to allow others, who are not yet tired, occupy their post.

    Now, one doesn't get tired only when competing for greed. Therefore,
    the reason for the lack of policy in the Armenian-Russian relations
    is the contradictions between individual, group and national interests
    of Russia.
