YEREVAN. – In actual fact, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) no longer exists. What will happen now, will be a completely new thing, 168 Zham daily reported.

‘“We are basically seeing the greatest tension between the West and Russia after the collapse of the USSR,’ well-known political scientist Sergey Markedonov told our reporter, assessing the situation following the Ukrainian crisis.

“In his view, the way to surmount the created global tension is that the main players in world politics, including the US and Russia, should sit, negotiate, and form seven precepts of world order, since, in his words, the old ‘Yalta-Potsdam world order’ died back in 1989-91, and, in the subsequent period, the world lived in quite incomprehensible rules,” 168 Zham wrote.
