The official visit of the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to Armenia, the documents signed during that period, specifically the prolongation of the contract of deployment of Russian troops in Gyumri, created various kinds of interpretations. Experts would mainly focus on our direct neighbours – Georgia and Azerbaijan and their reaction around this matter. And what is the opinion of the next super player of the region – the USA? “It regards the bilateral relations of Armenia and Russia,” as a response to the US reaction around this matter mentioned the note of the US Embassy in Armenia. But can this to any extent advert to the US-Armenian relations and the balance of power in the region? The embassy has given a typical American diplomatic response, “The US and Armenia have close partnership and we have all the expectations that it will continue.” It means neither yes, nor no. It depends on the circumstances and situation.
