AZG Armenian Daily #191, 07/10/2006
Opinion
The Union of Armenians of Russia is concerned about the
Russian-Georgian confrontation. Ara Abrahamian, Chairman of the union,
stated in the interview with RFE/RL. According to him, the union has
received dozens of calls about the complications that occurred when
transferring goods. These obstacles were conditioned by the latest
negative developments between Georgia and Russia. Ara Abrahamian
stated that when the relations get worse, one should always figure
out what should the Armenian companies and Armenia do, and how they
should carry out the deals with the Russian and other companies.
Ara Abrahamian stated that the question how will Russia treat the
Armenian companies if its policy changes to Armenia is naïve. He added
that Russia has its interests in the region. The relations between
Georgia and Russia differ from those between Armenia and Russia. Ara
Abrahamian said that Armenia has signed many agreements with Russian
and their implementation will last for dozens of years in the future.
