Round table around coming election in Armenia organized in Moscow

PanARMENIAN.Net - On the initiative of "Unity for the Sake of Peace" Fund and "Russia's Strategy" magazine a round table was organized in Moscow titled "Parliamentarian and Presidential Elections in Armenia and Russia's Interests". The press office of "Russia-Armenia" International Press Club informed the PanARMENIAN.Net journalist that outstanding Russian social and political figures, leading political scientists, scholars, experts on foreign policy and journalists participated in the works of the round table. At the meeting participants discussed, as some experts think, one of the most decisive stages of political development in Armenia, Russia's strategic partner-the May 12 parliamentarian elections and March 2008 presidential election.



Some critical opinions were expressed concerning certain shortcomings in intergovernmental relations with sister nation Armenia, which also appeared in the rise of gas prices for the sake of representatives of monopoly business. Others expressed their worries concerning unjustified downtime in Armenian factories, which were given to the Russian side in return for Armenian debt. Some concrete offers were made in order to increase efficiency of Russian foreign policy in South Caucasus.



Participants of the round table underlined that Armenia is one of Russia's frank and the most reliable allies, where anti-Russian moods have never found serious reaction and Armenia herself is capable of ensuring lawfulness and transparency in organizing elections.
