    ONCE AGAIN ABOUT SAAKSHVILI'S ARMENIAN AWARDS

    "How could we award a highest state medal to a President whose fate
    is unknown, the one who has always come forth with anti-Armenian
    policy and has done nothing worth getting the highest state medal of
    the Republic of Armenia?" Director of the Western Armenians' Studies
    Center Haykazun Alvrtsyan told a press conference today.

    He said that awarding Mikhail Sakkashvili with a medal was a wrong
    step in all regards. According to Haykazun Alvrtsyan, the medal was
    given to the Georgian President for expectations rather than merits.

    It was incorrect but predictable: this is how Haykazun Alvrtsyan
    described the criticism of Russian media for the warm reception of
    the Georgian President in Armenia.

    "The reaction could be expected, taking into consideration the hostile
    Russian-Georgian relations. It, however, does not reflect the official
    position of Russia," the speaker added.

    Haykazun Alvrtsyan considers that irrespective of Russia's reaction,
    the extremely warm reception did not correspond to the real state of
    Armenian-Georgian relations.

    Georgia does not view Armenia as its strategic partner unlike
    Azerbaijan and Turkey. In Georgia's security doctrine Armenia is
    presented as a neighbor country with which Georgia has friendly
    relations.

    However, Haykazun Alvrtsyan draws attention to the fact that during
    the visit to Yerevan Saakashvili spoke about the Armenian-Georgian
    strategic partnership. "Taking into consideration its shaky position in
    the region and the complex relations with other neighbors, Georgia may
    really see a new strategic partner in the face of Armenia," the speaker
    assumes, adding that he does not take Sakkashvili's words seriously.
