  Envoy: Berlin-Moscow ties to improve if policy on post-Soviet states changed October 14, 2013 - 12:46 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The Russian-German relations will remain complicated until Moscow lets its neighbors decide on their own policy line, German ambassador to Estonia said. "We expect Russia to change behavior towards its neighbors – Armenia, Ukraine and even Lithuania, where Moscow uses policy of pressure, which, we thought, had been left in past," Christian Matthias Schlaga said. However he noted, Gazprom energy giant doesn't much affect Germany's Russia-oriented policy, with the main influence on the Germany and Europe's ties with Russia exerted by a certain gentleman from Moscow. "Out attitude to Russia mostly depends on a certain gentleman from Moscow who's having trouble with accepting the rules of normal coexistence with other countries," the envoy said. "This is what caused not only Germany's but also Europe's ties with Moscow to complicate," baltija.eu quoted him as saying.
