/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In case of unanimous consent of CIS member countries,
Abkhazia and South Ossetia may be accepted to the Commonwealth.

"The CIS charter doesn’t prevent from accepting new members. However,
accession can be blocked by any objecting country," CIS executive
secretary Sergei Lebedev said.

At that, he remarked that Abkhazia and South Ossetia’s joining the
CIS is unlikely at the moment, as none of CIS member states, except
Russia, has recognized independence of the breakaway republics so far.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
