Russian- Turkish "wedding" is fraught with Armenian "funeral"March 5, 2009 - 19:54 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia mustn't chose between the Millennium Challenge program and Iran, the expert at RA Center for International Political Analysis Ruben Mehrabyan told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. "This is the case where the two ideas do not contradict, but rather, complement each other. Armenia can discover new possibilities in the light of possible USA -Iran relations improvement. Iran, while holding the world's second largest amount of natural gas, still has restricted export capacity. Armenia - Georgia's Black Sea coast route would be the optimal solution for export of significant amounts of gas to the world market, " Mehrabyan notedEurope realizes that an attempt to replace Russian gas monopoly with Russian-Turkish one will not solve the problem, but rather result in new ones. We mustn't forget that Russian- Turkish "wedding" might be fraught with Armenian "funeral". Armenia's dependence on Russia could complicate business collaboration possibilities with USA and Iran. So the diplomatically challenge lies in adhering to flexible policy. Armenian-Russian relations mustn't be spoilt, yet a policy of complementarism must be introduced either. Its important to renounce the role of a ball Armenia is playing in this football diplomacy."
