Russia should assist Armenia in unblocking infrastructures
The Russian-Armenian relations should proceed from cooperation in security and economy to deeper cooperation which would include creation of a unified economic, humanitarian and political space, said Sergey Markov, Director of the Institute for Political Studies. "I think that our citizens, natives of Armenia, should enjoy full civil rights. We should work for solution of urgent problems and proceed from demagogy to tighter strategic unions. Implementation of joint economic project is essential. Insufficient development of Armenian enterprises conveyed to Russia is a political mistake. We should use our resources to start them. We should also assist Armenia in unblocking its infrastructure. Common cultural space should be maintained via development of the Russian language in Armenia," he said, Kreml.org reports.
