"The growing impudence of Azerbaijan is explained not only with the
expected oil revenues but also because our authorities have annoyed
the world with their concession disposition," Vahan Hovhannisyan,
parliament speaker, told a press conference today.

In his words, we are really ready for mutual concessions but Azerbaijan
thinks it is a weakness.

Therefore, there is a need to open a cold shower on the growing
aggressiveness of our neighbor, he said.

Speaking about Georgian-Russian conflict, Hovhannisyan said Armenia
is not interested in super-power of Russia in the region. Neither does
it want weak position of another country in the region. "The truth is
somewhere in between," he said. Hovhannisyan believes Armenia has more
"balanced and guided policy" as compared to our neighbors. However,
he thinks we need more emotion.
