CIS cannot exist without united political, economic basis

YEREVAN, September 29. /ARKA/. The Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) cannot exist without a united political and economic basis, reporter of “Ekho Moskvi” radio Vitaly Dimarsky said at the conference
“Commonality of CIS information field: vision and reality”.

“The CIS can be considered an attempt to establish a united political space and collective security zone, but all this cannot exist on its own, without political and economic fundament,” he said.

“Everyone knows that the CIS has played its positive role in the civilized divorce of the former Soviet republics, but the list of achievements of this organization has not gone further,” he said adding that this structure resemblances today “an old suitcase without handle – it is a pity to throw it away and it is hard to carry it”.

According to the journalist, the responsibility for this situation is with the political leadership of all the countries and first of all with Russia.

“Russia is the main responsible for the development of a sort of policy within the post-Soviet space, which looks quite indistinct today,” Dimarskiy said. N.V. –0--
