ABSURD BORDERS OF ARMENIA

Last week, the government of Armenia approved the financing agreement
on the allocation of 30.3 million Euros and 10.3 million Euros
respectively by the European Investment Bank and European Bank of
Reconstruction and Development to realize the project of modernization
of three border checkpoints of Armenia at the Armenian-Georgian border.
On the same day, Secretary of the National Security Council of Armenia,
Artur Baghdasaryan, discussed with the head of the Russian Federal
Agency on the arrangement of state borders of Russia, Dmitri Bezdelov,
the issue to open a representative office in Armenia. The official
message in this relation runs that "the opening of the representative
office will boost the works on the modernization and upgrading of
systems for the protection of the state border of Armenia with Turkey
and Iran".
Armenia's borders reflect the real situation of our country. The
biggest absurd is first of all the intergovernmental agreement with
Russia on the defense of Armenia's borders. In addition, the absurd
ground for it is that Russia protects the former soviet borders, i.e.
the "external borders of CIS". At the same time, Armenia's borders
with Georgia, which is no longer a CIS member, is not carried out by
Russia. And Armenia's border with CIS member Azerbaijan, with which
Armenia is in an undeclared war, is protected by the Armenian army.
Armenia's authorities, which will announce the end of vassalage and
establishment of sovereignty, will have to solve the issue on the
border defense for the first. If Armenia able to defend its borders?
How is Russia related to the Armenian-Turkish or Armenian-Iranian
borders? Why should Russian border troops welcome as at Zvartnots
airport? Can we assume Russia "handed" the Armenian-Georgian border
to Europe?
The defense of borders is the basic precondition for the sovereignty
and it is absurd to say that spies enter the country in case
foreign troops are at the state borders. This has no relation to the
international relations and even strategic partnership with Russia.
This is not even related to the existence of the Russian military
base in Gyumri.
The question is concrete: why are Russian border troops at the Armenian
border? Moreover, the Russian troops are mainly composed of Armenian
soldiers, so why can't these people be members of Armenian units? How
much money does Russia provide for the protection of Armenia's borders,
or is it at the expenses of the Armenian budget, as is the case with
the military base?
