/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "By awarding Georgian President Mikheil Saakahvili
with honor order, Armenian President displayed Yerevan’s complimentary
policy," Deputy Director of Caucasus Institute Sergey Minasyan said
during a joint news conference with expert Armen Aghayan. Armenia’s
policy, according to him, may differ from the policy of its strategic
partner. "By awarding Saakashvili, Yerevan sent a specific kind of
message to Moscow," Armenian political scientist stressed.

Touching upon the problems of Armenians in Samtskhe Javakheti, Sergey
Minasyan stressed the importance of Armenia’s conducting a more
clear-cut policy to avoid complications in Armenian-Turkish relations.

Expert Armen Aghayan noted in his turn that the issue was not on
Armenia’s foreign policy agenda. "Armenian authorities in Samtskhe
Javakheti gave a green light to Georgia’s policy. The issue should
become Armenia’s internal problem, obliging our authorities to take
concrete steps in that direction," Aghayan stressed.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
