Armenia's election should become a signal for Russia
The Armenian parliamentary election should attract Russia's attention. The point is that Armenia's attitude towards Russia, possibilities of cooperation with it and with the West was for the first time discussed during the election campaign, Konstantin Zatulin, RF State Duma member and director of the institute of CIS studies told Izvestiya newspaper.

"Caring of their interests Russia and Armenia cannot live as of old. 'Drinking health' to the Russian-Armenian friendship is not enough. Relations between nations are not limited to informal presidential meetings. If Russia's interests in the South Caucasus are not restricted to its state border, it's time to set to them in Armenia," Konstantin Zatulin said.
