Having a state with all its attributes is not enough for being
considered independent, an Armenian activist has said.
Oleg Yenigomshyan, a member of Sardarapat movement, told reporters on
Thursday the past twenty years of independence did not prove successful
in terms of promoting rule of law, welfare, freedom and national pride,
factors which he considered important for an independent statehood.
"Today, unfortunately Armenia and Artsakh [Nagorno Karabakh]
are dependent upon both Rusia and US," he said, emphasizing
particularly Armenia's economic dependence on Russia and international
organizations.
Speaking of the victory in Karabakh war and the subsequent achievements
(the country's liberation and army building), the activist attributed
them to the first years of independence.
"Victory has degraded its value simply because all the governments
of Armenia expressed willingness to cede the liberated territories,"
he noted.
