He' traveling in Armenia. Perhaps he does not have 24/7 access to a computer at this time.

You're doing a great job in his stead.

I see. Thanks, crusader1492.

Greetings North Pole, I have been in Yerevan Armenia for a week now. I will be here for the next two months. Although I have been reading the materials posted in this forum approximately every other day I have been just too busy to participate. What's more, being in a public "internet cafe" is not the same as being in the confines of one's home. Crusader is right, you are doing great job. I appriciate your presence here. If you have the time please maintain this thread and report bad post to the moderator.

Hello, from North Pole, Armenian.
While you in Armenia, would you be able to find some time to travel to Fioletovo and chat with the Molokans, take some pictures too?


Fioletovo is not that far from Yerevan.

Moscow to brisk up relations with Armenia if Georgia joins NATO
15.07.2008 16:46 GMT+04:00
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Moscow-Baku relations have cooled since the USSR decline and do not depend on situation in third states, with the exception of Russia’s engagement in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, a Russian expert said.

“Current relations satisfy Russia with their predictability. Baku is not fully content but it does appreciate predictability of its partner,” Russian political scientist Dmitry Andreyev said.

Russia will not lose influence in the South Caucasus if Georgia joins NATO, according to him.

“Moscow will just brisk up relations with Armenia and will deeper engage in Karabakh process if Georgia joins the Alliance,” Andreyev said.

To what end?

How does getting "deeper engaged" ameliorate NATO encroachment? Who benefits from this scenario Armenia or Azerbaijan?

...poorly written article.

I noticed the Medellin drug cartel from Colombia didn't answer about Uribe...

Don't bother trying to tell us about our allies and friends.

Now how can you aspire to be a US soldier unless you are NSA?

mr. rah rah ameriKKKa??? Only one "programmed" to think a certain way is you.

Armenia won’t make fundamental concession in Karabakh issue
16.07.2008 13:44 GMT+04:00
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Resolution of the Nagonro Karabakh conflict is unlikely in the near future, a Russian expert said.

Armenia will never make fundamental concession in the issue, Mikhail Alexandrov, head of the Caucasus department at Moscow’s Institute for Commonwealth of Independent States, told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter during a news conference in Yerevan.

“Armenians should put up with the fact that there will be no progress for a long time. The world is experiencing global processes caused by the economic crisis which will probably entail U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and decline of NATO. These processes will lead to shift in geopolitical balance in the region,” he said.
As to the format of talks, the expert said no one except for Baku wants to replace the OSCE Minsk Group. “Transfer of the issue to another instance will change nothing,” he emphasized.

“Ilham Aliyev seems to be irritated at Serzh Sargsyan’s victory in the presidential election. Western countries have obviously assured Aliyev that with Ter-Petrossian coming to power in Armenia, the Karabakh problem will be resolved in favor of Azerbaijan. However, it didn’t happen, so much the better,” Alexandrov said.

This Russian expert is bullish on the future de jure independence of Artsakh...albeit, he believes the status-quo will last for quite some time before this happens.

Check out what he said about LTP...

Russian paratroopers arrive in North Caucasus for combat drills

22:05 | 16/ 07/ 2008

MOSCOW, July 16 (RIA Novosti) - Paratroopers from Russia's 76th Airborne Division arrived Wednesday in North Ossetia to participate in the active stage of large-scale military exercises in the North Caucasus.

The exercise, dubbed Caucasus 2008, involves units of the North Caucasus Military District, mainly the 58th Army, the 4th Air Force Army, Interior Ministry troops, and border guards.

"The personnel, equipment and ammunition are being unloaded at the town of Mozdok" in North Ossetia, a spokesperson for Russia's Ground Forces said Wednesday. The paratroopers will make a forced march to the assigned zone of operation in the mountains, where they will conduct a series of tactical exercises, including live-fire drills.

The Pskov paratroopers will be later joined by units from an air assault regiment based in the Volga region, which will be transported to the Krasnodar Territory by rail and conduct a forced march to the exercise zone.

The exercise is taking place on the territory of Chechnya, North Ossetia, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, and Karachayevo-Circassia.

Lt. Col. Andrei Bobrun, an aide to the commander of the North Caucasus Military District, earlier said the exercise involves some 8,000 military personnel, about 700 combat vehicles and more than 30 aircraft.

The main goal of the exercise, according to the Russian military, is to work on interoperability between federal troops, Interior Ministry troops, border guards, and the Air Force in special operations against militants and in the defense of Russia's state borders, and to practice support of Russian peacekeepers in Georgia's breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

Georgia protested Wednesday against the Russian military exercise near its borders, saying it was another manifestation of aggression against Tbilisi.

Georgia's parliament approved Tuesday a presidential initiative to increase the armed forces by 5,000 personnel to 37,000 amid growing tensions with Russia over two breakaway provinces.

Anyways, Georgia looks more like a tool than like a partner to them. And its policy shows that is actually succumbing to foreign interests.

Of course georgia is a tool, it's even worse cause they are the tools of tools, as there is a deeper power structure behind nato. tiflis has been under foreign dominance since at least 2003, with the rise of misha and the other puppets.
