    EXPERT: GEORGIA SHOULDN'T FORGET IT BORDERS ON RUSSIA, NOT U.S.

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian political analyst, Regional Studies Center
    (RSC) head Richard Giragosian has expressed hope for foreign policy
    shifts in Georgia following the opposition's victory at elections.

    "Normalization of Georgian-Russian relations will benefit Armenia,"
    the expert said.

    Dwelling on the victorious Georgian Dream leader Bidzina Ivanishvili's
    statement, Mr. Giragosian noted that Georgia shouldn't forget that
    is located in the same region with Russia, and not the U.S.

    "Georgia's capital city is Tbilisi, not Atlanta," he said.

    With 97.03 percent of the vote counted, billionaire tycoon Bidzina
    Ivanishvili's Georgian Dream is on a fast track to win a solid majority
    in Georgia's 150-seat parliament.

    The Georgian Dream won 55 percent of the vote and President Mikheil
    Saakashvili's UNM party garnered 40.27 percent on party lists, while
    in the 73 single-mandate races, Ivanishvili's coalition won 38 seats
    against 35 for Saakashvili's party.
