YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 11, NOYAN TAPAN. According to Suren Sureniants,
Political Board member of the Hanrapetutiun (Republic) party, today
Russia is carrying out policy of empire’s revival. As he stated at
the discussion organized on September 12 at the National Press Club,
recognizing the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia was only
a veil for Russia to conceal its imperial ambitions.

Aram Mayilian, a deputy of the former Armenian Supreme Council, said
that he was away from Armenia during the five-day Georgian-Russian war
and on returning he noticed emphasized anti-Georgian and anti-American
moods in the country. To have a negative attitude towards Georgia,
as A. Mayilian affirmed, means to violate moral norms forgetting that
Armenian culture has mainly developed in Georgia. "Today Armenia is
a puppet country, which decides and says nothing. A little change
happened in 1988, but now do not have its result. Armenia knows seven
songs and all of them are about Russia," he stated.
