The number of those going up against opening the Armenian-Turkish border has increased. It is rather natural that Baku should twitch at opening the Armenian-Turkish border. But now the number of adversaries has increased «thanks to» the Georgians, which is quite explicable too. The matter is that in that case Tbilisi completely loses first of all her levers of exerting pressure on Yerevan, and secondly, her money. She loses all the money she got for goods transited to and from Armenia.

The impact of the world financial crisis on the Armenian economy and social state of people has already become perceptible, especially in the population employment sector. The alarm has already sounded for a number of employment agencies: employers' offers are decreasing in ratio with the increasing labor supply.

The year of 2008 was also a time of reformatting the South Caucasus Region. After the «five-day» war of Georgia against South Ossetia it became clear that new division lines were to be outlined in the region. No doubt unwilling to do it himself, President of Georgia made a «regal» present to RF that had long been waiting for an opportunity to gain revenge against the USA for the too profound an interference it had in the solution of Caucasus problems. The result was a much more chaotic bedlam in which even the most «skillful» states were unable to "catch a fish".
