/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "One thing is clear: both Russia and Georgia should
do the utmost to alleviate tension and prevent any impact on Armenia,"
Armenian National Assembly Speaker Tigran Torosian told reporters
on Monday. "Otherwise the assurances of friendship will remain
mere words," Torosian said adding that "words should be proved in
deed." "It’s another matter what should be done for it. Russia and
Georgia should consider the problem first of all," the Speaker said.

Tigran Torosian thinks use of Armenian interparliamentary ties for the
settlement of the Georgian-Russian collision unlikely. "The tension
between the states has deepened and resolution of the problem depends
on Russia and Georgia only," he said.

"Maybe something can be done within international organizations,
the OSCE for example, but the situation depends on the leaders of
the two states," he said.

Tigran Torosian also informed that the Russian-Georgian relations
may be considered at the sitting of the PACE Monitoring Committee on
October 16 in Yerevan. "It will help the committee members to have
a proper notion of the issue, since representatives of many states
are not well informed of the problem," Torosian said, reported
