/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "I think Russia Project is theoretically
feasible. But real though it may be, Armenia and Karabakh are very
unlikely to join Russian Union, NKR Parliament’s Foreign Relations
Committee Chair Vahram Atanesyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
"Considering tense Russian-Georgian relations which will hardly
normalize in visible future, we can rule out possibility of
Russia’s establishing ties with Armenia via Georgian territory,"
NKR parliamentarian noted.
Earlier, Italian Limes magazine disseminated information on the so
called Russia Project allegedly elaborated by Mr. Putin and Medvedev. A
periodical specialized in geopolitics, the magazine reported that the
project aimed at re-annexing Transdniestria, South-Eastern Ukraine and
Kyrgyzstan to Russian Federation. The project proposes the idea of
creating a "Russian Union" with the involvement of Belarus, Central
Ukraine, Armenia, Nagorno Karabakh, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan. It
also envisages an agreement on a military union with Uzbekistan.
