YEREVAN, AUGUST 14, NOYAN TAPAN. Armenia’s policy in the South Caucasus
has not changed and the country remains faithful to peaceful solution
of problems, deputy chairman of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA)
Galust Sahakian said at the August 14 press conference. He avoided
accusing some or other person of what happened in South Ossetia. In
his words, he who instigated these actions is to blame. He expressed an
opinion that a slaughter of civilians was committed in South Ossetia.

G. Sahakian called on Armenia’s political forces and in general
everyone in the country to make reserved judgements, including on
the behaviour of the Armenian authorities.

G. Sahakian has come to the conclusion that the CIS will strengthen
in the near future. He said that if the CIS structures had been
strong, the situation would not have become so strained. He expressed
confidence that the Georgian-Ossetian process will have no relation
to the Karabakh problem.
