Relations with Armenia important for Russia's external political stability

PanARMENIAN.Net - "Russia closely watches the internal political processes in Armenia, as we cannot venture on loss of a consistent ally in the Caucasus. Relations with Armenia and Armenian people are important for Russia's external political stability," said Konstantin Zatulin, the director of the Institute of CIS Studies, member of the State Duma committee for CIS affairs. In his opinion, plenty of issues, including the succession of the foreign policy, depend on the capability of the RA incumbent authorities to ensure majority in the parliament.



"Pro-west forces have activated in Armenia. The state is deluged with American and western consultants and various grants. Feverish activity, like that in Ukraine on the threshold of 2004 election, Kyrgyzstan and other states that outlived colored revolutions, can be observed in the republic. The matter concerns not only the sending of consultants and launching of various network structures but also the existence of some forces in Armenia which are aspired to come to power at the wave of pro-western positions. Thus, with their efforts, Russia's actions that are not properly explained or motivated, can prove strategic mistakes," he underscored, reports Kremlin.org.
