Armenia is more protected from the point of view of national risk
threat than its neighboring countries Georgia and Azerbaijan. The index
of life quality in our country outnumbers that of our neighbors. And
on the contrary, the index of dynamism is lower in Armenia than
in Azerbaijan.

These are preliminary data given by a number of Russian
politicians’survey the results of which will be summarized at the
turn of the year. Russian politician Michael Ilyin who participates in
the program titled “Modern political atlas” said during today’s press
release that the survey is very complicated but they get information
of great importance and of encyclopedia value.

Our first task was to collect information on political developments
of various countries of the world.

187criteria for survey have been worked out, the data we possess was
marked by 6 complex indexes and as a result of it we got data of more
than 36 000 points,” noted the politician. 192 UNO member countries
are engaged in the survey.

The politician presented the program which started in 2005 in the
symposium related to the political issues of post soviet countries
held in YSU on May 11 – 14.

While speaking of the Russian foreign policy Michael Ilyin noted that
Russia has always been able to establish friendly relations with its
neighbors. But the relations with Georgia are getting worse day by day
though according to the politician it is determined by the aggressive
policy of Georgia.

“The deterioration of the relations is determined by a number of
factors, but the vital of them, to my mind, is the policy of the
Georgian authorities which is very aggressive though Russia is not
wise either.”

“The prospect of negotiating with Armenia is great.

The two sides seem to be interested in it. The relations may become
worse in case there is a serious crisis in the region as they may
encounter new difficulties,” claims the politician.

As for the Russian policy he stated “The policy of Russia is becoming
more and more boring.”
