Shame on us

06/11/2006

“It is a shame that Russia doesn’t have a large amount of investments in Armenia, whch is considered to be Russia’s strategic ally,” said the Russian president Vladimir Putin on October 30 during his meeting with his Armenian counterpart Robert Kocharyan. Maybe the Russians are concerned about this fact, but there is no need to worry; Armenia has given its strategic businesses and almost 80% of the energetic system to Russia. The Armenian president wouldn’t remind Putin about this. The Armenian president just said that all was not lost and that “everything was going to be fine with “GazProm” company and the amount of investments would change in the year to come.” On the one hand, perhaps the president means the fifth bloc of Hrazdan hydro-electric station. On the other hand, maybe Russia is going to invest money in the Iran-Armenia gas pipeline as well. Armenia shouldn’t let our strategic ally feel ashamed either.
