"After the assignment of Association Agreement by Georgia with European Union and after the ratification, Russia declared that will cancel free trade regime with Georgia. It means that also will be canceled Armenia-Russian free trade regime too. And why Armenia has to enter Eurasian Union?" - writes Armenian edition "Lragiri". The author of the article writes: it is obvious that while two days visit of Irakli Garibashvili there will be detailed discussion of issues connected to European Union and Eurasian Union. Of course Yerevan wants Georgian transit in Russia without customs duty, but deep inside the government of Armenia is happy that Georgia creates barriers on the way on union in Eurasian Union. In ruling circles such kind of integration is considered as tragedy and forced move, reports GHN.
"Yesterday on military road of Georgia happened one more landslide..such kind of landslide on Georgian-Russian border became often and has mysterious character... not Armenia and not Russia don't show interest for the "straightening" of this road, they hope that in future it will not happen anymore. But this is fact that such kind of natural landslides provoke "political landslides" and bury bright future of Armenian-Russian relations...
What kind of alternative has Armenia except Georgian alternative? May be only Iranian direction, but Russia instantly will choke Armenia and will not allow Iran (for gas export) to open way till Europe, through Armenia and Georgia. The position of Russia can be neutral only with joint effort of Armenia, Georgia and Iran. May be Irakli Garibashvili visited Yerevan with this aim too. It depends on the answer of Armenia there will take place visit of Prime Minister of Russia in Yerevan and visit of Prime Minister Ovik Abrammian in Tehran," there is said in publication.
