The recent developments show that the potential of the anti-criminal
movement gathering momentum in Armenia gave rise to definite
conclusions by the great powers interested in the situation in
Armenia. Perceiving the political potential of the anti-criminal
movement, the United States and Russia compete for leading this
movement. There is information that Russia is especially active.

Though this sphere of activities is new to Russia, it is full of
resolve, for it can see the results of work of the United States
in this sphere. The evidence to this is the well-known statement
of Kolerov, adviser to Putin, that Russia will no longer support
the criminal regimes in the CIS space to prevent accusations agaist
Russia that it supports criminal governments at power. The reliable
sources also state that the elite of Kremlin made a decision concerning
Armenia intended to become more active in the civil sphere and promote
cooperation with the anti-criminal movement.
