/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russia should maintain uninterrupted contact with
Armenia after the tragic events in South Ossetia, said Konstantin
Zatulin, director of the Institute of CIS Studies.

"It’s important to assess the advantages and disadvantages of the
situation. Armenia has unsettled problems and is interested in
Russia’s mediation for the Nagorno Karabakh conflict resolution. By
the way, Russia has much to gain from mediating conflicts in South
Caucasus. With their successful resolution, it will fix its positions
as major regional player," he said, Komsomolskaya Pravda reports.
