"The Armenian press sees only the dark and light sides of the
Russian-Georgian relations. The press is flooded by either pro-Russian
or pro-Georgian issues", politician Levon Meliq-Shahnazaryan
thinks. But the attitude of Armenia, Azerbaijan and other countries
towards the Russian-Georgian relations is not less important.
"In the Russian-Georgian relations the approach of Armenia must
be moral, that is we must try to soothe tension; as for direct
interference, it must be restricted only within the framework of
the interests of our compatriots". Mr. Meliq-Shahnazaryan is truly
concerned about who will occupy the areas after the Russian troupes
leave them. "If Turkish troupes are to be allocated there, it means
Armenian army must get there first", he said.
Levon Meliq-Shahnazaryan does not provoke war. He has no doubts that
after the Turkish troupes come to replace the Russian ones in Javakhq,
all the Armenians will leave the territory. "If there are countries
which are ready to launch war to protect the interests of their one
or two citizens, we have more reasons to protect the Armenians of
Javakhq", the politician said.
