Armen Ashotyan: Georgia may find itself between Azerbaijan's Scylla and Turkey's Charybdis
Georgia is engaged in a number of projects pointed at Armenia while the latter would never venture such projects, an Armenian parliamentarian said.

"Armenia maintains neutrality in the Russian-Georgian relations. Now, it's important to know whether Georgia's policy against Armenia is imposed from outside or it's the republic's own goal. I am hopeful that it's an imposed policy. Georgia risks to find itself between Azerbaijan's Scylla and Turkey's Charybdis," Armen Ashotyan, member of the RA parliament and the Republican Party of Armenia, said during a Yerevan-Tbilisi TV space bridge.

"It's also important to clarify where the Kars-Baku railroad will lead. Will it stretch toward Russia and Iran or will it become a train ferry with Central Asia."

He also said that it's at least naïve to position Kars-Baku as a regional and secure o project. "Armenia is concerned about it own interests while Georgia doesn't understand that it isolates Armenia on orders from Azerbaijan and Turkey," Ashotyan said.
