PanARMENIAN.Net – Billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili-led opposition’s
victory in Georgia’s parliamentary elections and the prospect of
normalization of Russian-Georgian ties may have a negative impact on
Armenia, a political expert believes.
“Georgia will be demanding to be “paid” to normalize ties, with the
national interests of Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Armenia set as a
price,” Levon Shirinyan told a news conference in Yerevan.
“Though not absolutely certain about the scenario described above,
I could recall historic precedents where Russia sacrificed Armenia’s
interests to boost ties with Georgia,” the expert said, citing
Javakhk’s transfer to Georgia to gain the latter’s favor.
