They wanted as better, it came out as always… for Armenia

April 29, 2009 - 00:54 AMT  14:27 GMT
The US President's clamorous speech of April 24 in which he called the Armenian Genocide by its Armenian equivalent "Mets Yeghern", cannot naturally suggest that changes have been introduced in the foreign policy of the USA. Neither can we say that Obama was suddenly smitten with love for the Armenian people. Everything is much simpler: orally equaling the Holocaust with the Armenian Genocide, President Obama actually deprived of juridical estimation the events of 1915 in the Ottoman Empire. Considerably much time will pass until the Holocaust and Mets Yeghern become equivalent in the legal aspect.

In 2008 the major event in the region was the visit of Turkish President to Yerevan

December 25, 2008 - 19:56 AMT  14:27 GMT
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".
