/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Georgian-Ossetian conflict showed how
tremendously ineffective the Russian war machine is, according to an
Armenian expert.

"But it also showed that Georgia doesn’t have an army, despite
up-to-date armament and long-term trainings of the personnel. Georgian
soldiers failed to defeat 350 Russian peacekeepers, 200 Ossetian
policemen and 200 servicemen," Caucasus Institute Director Alexander
Iskandaryan said during a round-table discussion today.

Russia’s will always be present in South Ossetia, according to him.

"Georgia will recover from the collapse but its image of "democracy
lamp" has been buried forever. Moreover, no Georgian leader will dare
to attempt to resolve the South Ossetian and Abkhazian conflicts by
use of force.
