"RUSSIA IS ARMENIA'S OUTPOST"
[07:49 pm] 06 October, 2006
Because of the tension in the relations of Russia and
Georgia Armenian businessman suffer heavy losses. In
particular, according to Hrayr Karapetyan, the head of
the ARF Dashnaktsutyun faction, they pay 2500 USD more
in order to transport 20 tons of luggages by the Poti
port instead of Verin Lars. What does co-chair of the
Armenian-Russian Intergovernmental Committee Vahan
Hovhannisyan do in order for the Russians not to
ignore the interests of Armenia? Asked this question
by "A1+" Hrayr Karapetyan agreed that we must work
upon that issue.
One of the journalists asked to comment on the
announcement of leader of the RF Liberal Democratic
party Vladimir Zhirinovsky according to which Armenia
is the 9th okrug of Russia and its outpost. Member of
the ARF Dashnaktsutyun Spartak Seyranyan found it
difficult to find a politician in Russia who would
have time to comment on Zhirinovsky's statements and
said he is not going to do it either. Nevertheless, he
wasn't able to resist the temptation of saying "I
would say that Russia is our outpost in the North; now
let them comment on my words".
As for the information about Hrayr Karapetyan having
appropriated 5 million USD, he advised the journalists
to turn to the Office of the RA Public Prosecutor and
learn whether a criminal case has ever been initiated
against him. "It is a fairy tale", Mr. Karapetyan
added.
