In a conversation with PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, the expert commented on Georgian Foreign Ministry’s statement that Russian military base in Armenia poses a threat to the region. “Georgia takes a cautious line on Russia’s military presence in the region, which is easily explained by a post –war syndrome.
