Serzh Sargsyan: CIS has not yet exhausted its resourcesApril 24, 2009 - 19:50 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - CIS has not yet exhausted its resources, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said in an interview to Russia Today TV channel. "Any organization can be just as CIS member states view it. We lived in the Soviet Union for 70 years; before that, many states formed part of the Russian Empire. I don't think it would be reasonable to break off all our ties all of a sudden," the Armenian President stressed, adding that the ties we have developed over decades and centuries may be only to our benefit. "Of course, much depends on Russia. If Russia finds CIS an important structure, its resources are undoubtedly becoming increasingly important," the Armenian President said.
