RUSSIAN ANALYST: ALL STATES OF REGION INCLUDING ARMENIA HAVE INTERESTS

PanARMENIAN.Net - One always has to take into account the opinions of both parties. I do not think the problem of withdrawal of bases is a vital issue that makes the population of Georgia and Russia worry," stated President of Strategy Saint-Petersburg Humanitarian and Political Science Center Alexander Sungurov, when commenting on the withdrawal of Russian military bases from the territory of Georgia, reported Regnum news agency. "It seems to me that a unilateral list of the Georgian leaders is observed at present. It is understandable and it can even be justified. It seems to me that these bases did not threaten anyone in fact. In their time these bases were not imposed, but invited as the instance of the Georgian people and I think we will live in a Russia some day that Russian military are again welcome in territories of other states. And while they do not want this, it cannot be helped - love cannot be compelled," he noted. As of the possible withdrawal of part of Russian military equipment to Armenia and the response of Azerbaijan implying that these actions can threaten regional security, A. Sungurov noted that "any actions upsetting the status-quo have certain consequences." In his words, the Georgian leaders could forecast it when insisting upon the withdrawal of the bases. All states of the region, including Armenia, have interests. Thus, Georgia causes a wave of regional destabilization, conditioned by unreasoned actions of Mr. Saakashvili and the company. The response of Azerbaijan can be understood and is possible, the Russian analyst summed up.
