Concentration of NATO ships in Black Sea nothing but usual manifestation of force

PanARMENIAN.Net - Concentration of NATO ships in the Black Sea is nothing but usual manifestation of force, a Russian expert said.



"Maybe, some measures for replenishment of the Georgian army are being taken under the disguise. Anyway, I do not think this armada represents a menace for Russia. Of course, the U.S. grows more and more unpredictable but you will hardly find any people there who will dare to incite an armed collision with Russia in the Black Sea," Andrey Areshev, expert at Strategic Culture Foundation said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net



"The danger will increase if Georgia undertakes a new aggression that is quite possible judging by the fact that Georgia broke all previous agreements on ceasefire (expect for the "six principles" which Georgia interprets its own way)," he said.

 

As to various economic sanctions against Russia, Areshev said that the European Union will hardly refuse from Russian gas. Furthermore, they will not recall their managers who work for big and profitable enterprises.



"Given the tendencies of Europe's economic development, it would be unwise. Hysteric opinions expressed somewhere in press or in a café should be selected from statements by serious politicians. They wanted to put Russia to the test. Well, they received answers to all their questions," he said.
