/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The August 2008 events revealed vulnerability of
the Caucasus, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said in an interview
with Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

"Georgia is very important for us, since it ensures transit of 70 per
cent of Armenia’s commodity turnover. 350 thousand of Armenians live
in Georgia. At the same time, we are Russia’s strategic ally. Despite
certain differences, we managed to avoid actions which could be taken
for hostility," he said, adding, "The war changed much throughout
the region but the Russian-Armenian relations were not damaged."
