Russian experts were in Yerevan who held press conferences and
issued statements saying that Armenia needs to toughen its position
on the Syrian issue and disagree with any military intervention in
that country.
The regular "tours" of Russian experts in Armenia are not news. They
come and propose new games to Armenia. But, as a rule, Armenia does
not have the role of a player in those games, but the one of the ball.
Now Russians are trying to turn Armenia into a ball scored into the
Western gate. Apparently, the visits to Armenia of Russian officials
and chairmen of two chambers of the State Duma have become more often
for this reason.
Armenia, apparently, is resisting understanding that the state
interest of Armenia demands a completely different approach and
instead of useless attempts to influence on the situation around
Syria, it is necessary to take up useful steps to help the Armenian
community of Syria and if necessary, organize the immigration to
Armenia more effectively.
But the Russian plans are different. For instance, the organization
of an effective immigration does not make part of its plans, but it
wants to create as many obstacles as possible such as enhancement
of the flight prices or refusal to increase the intensity of the
flights. In this relation, Armavia assumes a interesting role since
it is the national carrier of Armenia which has debts to Russia. There
have even been rumors that it will be sold to Russia.
The political field has also issued interesting positions. For example,
Head of the ARFD Bureau Hrant Margaryan left for Syria and stated there
that steps to keep the Armenian community there should be taken up.
It seems that when a serious war is underway in a country and the
life of people is threatened, the task should be to take out those
people from that war zone until the war ends and the situation
becomes stable. Let alone the fact that the Syrian Armenians need a
state-homeland where they could find not only protection but also could
correct the hard economic and demographic situation of the country.
But no one knows why and how, the idea on keeping the Syrian Armenians
in Syria is put forward which implies that the Armenian Christian
community of Syria will become a ball or a hostage for someone.
And when Russian experts advise Armenians to enter the Syrian game,
it becomes clear how the idea on not allowing the Syrian people leave
that country came up: the idea on the security and stability of the
Syrian community which is presented by the Armenian public propaganda.
While, the number one issue for Armenia is still not only not to get
involved in that game and not to become a ball, but also to help the
Syrian Armenians come out of it because they can become the victims of
the ball. In addition, in case it is clear that in Syria everything
will not end but will only start with the war because Syria will
undoubtedly become a second Iraq or Lebanon.
It is comprehensible that Syria is the home of the Armenian community
and it is difficult to get stuck of it in terms of human relations.
But the home can't be an end in itself because the home is beautiful
and pleasant by the life you have in it, while, Syria in this sense,
become dangerous especially for the Christian Armenian people.
Let Russia take care of its geopolitical issues without Armenians
this time.
