NEOCOLONIAL DEPENDENCE, INDEPENDENT STATEHOOD DIFFERENT - ARMENIAN PREPARLIAMENT REP
20:53 ~U 23.04.13
Before discrediting the concept of independence, certain political
scientific circles should first of all differentiate between
neocolonial dependence and independent statehood, Zhirair Sefilyan,
a member of Secretariat, Preparliament of Armenia, told Tert.am.
His words are a response to certain pro-Russian circles' statements
that the Armenian people is strongly supportive of a common state
with Russia.
"This is their professional duty. As to the concept of independence,
opinions of it being discredited are extremely exaggerated. Part of
our people under colonial rule is rejecting the colonialist system
under the guise of independent state," he said.
With respect to Armenian-Russian relations, Sefilyan believes that
they will have good development prospects after Armenia becomes a
really independent state of new quality.
"True, Armenia's dependence primarily seems to be the result of Russian
influence. However, Russia does not benefit from that," he said.
"Healthy and influential forces in Russia are well aware of this fact.
And they can ensure the establishment and development of mutually
beneficial partnership provided Armenia acquires real independence,"
Sefilyan said.
