"They say that age brings wisdom but not always: sometimes, age
comes alone.
I think that Shevardnadze is exactly the case," former prime minister
of Armenia, rector of Russian-Armenian (Slavonic) State University
Armen Darbinyan said while commenting on the recent statements of ex
Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze in Region+ magazine (Baku).
When in office Shevardnadze turned the problem of Azeri fuel supplies
into a national idea and thereby curbed real sector development. This
is his own business and he will answer for it in due time, but to
try to impose the same policy on Armenia is too much. "His sense of
reality seems to be failing him," says Darbinyan.
To remind, when speaking of the Nagorno-Karabakh problem, Shevardnadze
said: "Sooner or later Armenians will realize that this problem must
be resolved, otherwise, they may lose their independence. Azerbaijan
is a strong country and has enough strength to solve any problem. I
think that Armenians will search for solution."
