"The South Ossetian counteraction and the counteraction between Russia
and Georgia showed that Georgia is very far from participation in the
NATO", Armenian diplomat leaving in America Richard Kirakosyan thinks.

According to him Georgia with its counteractions is not able to
participate in the organization yet. "I think that America stands
for the military stability in the region and not for such a false
man like Michail Saakashvili is. Analyzing the last events in the
South Ossetia the diplomat says that they will have two important
influences on Armenia. "The first is the negative influence on the
transport communication of Armenia; the second is the fact that
Georgian counteraction has postponed the development of NATO in the
region", the diplomat said. Diplomat from Russia Andranik Mihrannyan
says that Armenia and Russia are strategic collaborators, but NATO –
Russia relations can not have direct influence on Armenia.

"It is fact that the last events were profitable for Armenia to show
the world that interethnic problems must not be solved by military
actions", Mihrannyan said. As for Richard Kirakosyan, he thinks that
Armenia must take measures to provide the security of NKR. Diplomat
Alexander Iskandaryan from Armenia is agree with Mihranyan: "The
decision of NATO against Russian=2 0was clear, but we must not
overestimate its results", Iskandaryan says and adds that Russia was
ready to all this or it wouldn’t do so as he did in August 7.
