Russia's Leaders Not Going to Quarrel with Armenia
Russia is not going to upset relations with Armenia, political scientist, publicist Leonid Radzikhovsky told journalists in Moscow. In his words, Russia is not going to quarrel with Armenia. At that the political scientist remarked that Armenia is an old partner of Russia. «Armenians arouse much less national problems when living in Russia, than Azeris, and if Russia's foreign policy was not determined by a vote, sympathy would be on Armenia's side and not on that of Azerbaijan,» Radzikhovsky underscored.

At that he remarked that in spite of it, Russian foreign policy leans more towards economically strong Azerbaijan lately. According to Radzikhovsky, Armenian leaders felt hurt by such tendency many times, reports RIA Novosti.
