Russia and Georgia Should Prove Friendship with Armenia in Deed

PanARMENIAN.Net - "One thing is clear: both Russia and Georgia should do the utmost to alleviate tension and prevent any impact on Armenia," Armenian National Assembly Speaker Tigran Torosian told reporters on Monday. "Otherwise the assurances of friendship will remain mere words," Torosian said adding that "words should be proved in deed." "It's another matter what should be done for it. Russia and Georgia should consider the problem first of all," the Speaker said.



Tigran Torosian thinks use of Armenian interparliamentary ties for the settlement of the Georgian-Russian collision unlikely. "The tension between the states has deepened and resolution of the problem depends on Russia and Georgia only," he said. "Maybe something can be done within international organizations, the OSCE for example, but the situation depends on the leaders of the two states," he said. Tigran Torosian also informed that the Russian-Georgian relations may be considered at the sitting of the PACE Monitoring Committee on October 16 in Yerevan. "It will help the committee members to have a proper notion of the issue, since representatives of many states are not well informed of the problem," Torosian said, reported newsarmenia.ru.
