    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Saakashvili's visit to Armenia is not accidental,"
    armenologist Aykazun Alvrtsyan told a news conference. According to
    him, the main purpose of the Georgian President Saakashvili's visit
    to Armenia is the search for a new strategic partner. The West
    no longer wants to support Georgia, while Azerbaijan and Turkey
    are more likely to create internal problems for Georgia, rather
    than support it. The relationship with Russia deteriorated after
    the Russian-Georgian war. "All steps of the Georgian President are
    conditioned by helplessness Tbilisi, currently under pressure from
    all sides," Aykazun Alvrtsyan said.

    "Armenia and Georgia have never been strategic partners, we have had
    just "good relations", "Georgia has had strategic partnerships with
    Azerbaijan and Turkey, but never with Armenia. By visiting Armenia, the
    Georgian president wanted to show that such relations are possible,"
    Mr. Alvrtsyan said.

    "Georgia now has strained relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan. For
    each action related to these countries Georgia is striken back,"
    he said.

    In his opinion, Moscow is trying to isolate Tbilisi and show
    its helplessness, a good example of this purchase of gas from
    Azerbaijan. Georgia is now looking for a new way to communicate
    with outside world, and Armenia is the only convenient way to attain
    that goal.

    Regarding awarding with Order of Honor Mikheil Saakashvili,
    Mr. Alvrtsyan noted that Russia had to show its displeasure. "In
    fact, Russia's strategic partner received its enemy, however there
    have not been official statements from Moscow. I noticed only one
    grave expression of Russian deputies which reflects mere illiteracy,
    " expert said. According to him, Armenia has already faced a similar
    reaction from Russia, when President Serzh Sargsyan, visited Georgia,
    but no deterioration in the Armenian-Russian relations has been
    recorded and on the contrary, relations have improved.
