‘The behavior of Georgian authorities may be described as a slap in the
face of Russia," Hmaiak Hovanisyan, independent deputy of the National
Assembly, told a discussion today. In the words of Hovanisyan, Georgian
threatens Russia, which is a superpower in the Caucasus. "Current
Georgian authorities try to pave their way to NATO by means of a clash
with Russia," the political scientist thinks. However, Hovanisyan
thinks that NATO is more interested in good relations with Russia
than with rapid membership of Georgia in the Alliance.

Speaking about the position of Armenia in the context of
Russian-Georgian conflict, Hovhanesyan pointed out that our country
must consider its own interests in order not to appear in the situation
of Sahakashvili.
