/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "By awarding Georgian President Mikheil Saakahvili
with honor order, Armenian President displayed Yerevan’s complimentary
policy," Deputy Director of Caucasus Institute Sergey Minasyan said
during a joint news conference with expert Armen Aghayan. Armenia’s
policy, according to him, may differ from the policy of its strategic
partner. "By awarding Saakashvili, Yerevan sent a specific kind of
message to Moscow," Armenian political scientist stressed.
Touching upon the problems of Armenians in Samtskhe Javakheti, Sergey
Minasyan stressed the importance of Armenia’s conducting a more
clear-cut policy to avoid complications in Armenian-Turkish relations.
Expert Armen Aghayan noted in his turn that the issue was not on
Armenia’s foreign policy agenda. "Armenian authorities in Samtskhe
Javakheti gave a green light to Georgia’s policy. The issue should
become Armenia’s internal problem, obliging our authorities to take
concrete steps in that direction," Aghayan stressed.
