Unfortunately, the incumbent Russian authorities do not have any deliberate strategy of actions in the Transcaucasia, leader of the Communist Party of Russia Gennady Zyuganov stated at a meeting with Armenian journalists. As of Azerbaijan and Georgia tending towards the US, it will not bring them more dividends, he said. «There will be no notable American investments in the region. The US simply does not need it,» the Communist Party leader noted.
