AH, THAT CLOUDLESS VISIT...!

Reading the Russian newspapers I was seriously eager to find out articles about the visit of Serge Sarkisian to Moscow. A great disappointment awaited me, as soon I learned that all the newspapers, as by some secret plot, wrote nothing more or less interesting or arguable. It came out that the Russians adore Armenians, and the Armenians do their best to help Russians not to go mad because of their great love.
This stuff turns simply into a comedy sometimes, as, for example, on the meeting of the two president-elects, Serge Sarkisian and Dmitry Medvedev. Their flattering smiles and mutual compliments were kindled with the same thought, "We have just started, and look what we are to do next..."
Evidently, the Armenian-Russian relationships are the most friendly and "cloudless" on the entire post-Soviet territory. And there is nothing secret here. The strategic interests of both the states fairly match. This is where the idyll comes from. It was fairly clear that the candidature of Serge Sarkisian is quite acceptable for Russia, and that there is nothing to fear of any "excessive love for the West" on his part. On the other hand, Armenia is interested in the security veil and the intense economic cooperation.
Anyways, the Russians' pride was most pleased with the fact that the newly elected Armenian present pays his first official visit to the Kremlin, and not to Brussels or Washington. And finally... Iran had also made and invitation. What else? Nothing. Everything is transparent, clear and promising. By the way, do not forget! In despite of his extreme busyness, Serge Sarkisian visited an Armenian church complex in Moscow and expressed admiration with the majesty of the buildings and satisfaction with the speed of the construction.

It is very good fr Serj to visit Russia and keep close ties. I think we all agree with that no matter what are political opinions are.
BUT when I read about Serk visiting Brussels or Washington it made me laugh: I am not sure anyone will talk to him over there :-)))))))
Sorry Serj, you need to play in a higher league and class of international relations to be invited to Brussels.
