GIRO MANOYAN, "ALIEV NEEDED PUTIN'S SUPPORT MORE THAN ANY OTHER POLITICAL FIGURE IN ARMENIA"
August 14 2013
"No. I think Aliev needed Putin's support more than any other political
figure in Armenia. Putin understood it and tries, so to speak, sell
at a high price to Aliyev, and generally Azerbaijan", - so answered
the head of Armenian Cause Office, ARF Giro Manoyan to the question
of Aravot.am, responding to the observation whether based on the
demonstrative aspects of the visit of RF President to Azerbaijan, it
is possible to say that Aliev was more successful than Serzh Sargsyan,
as he received Putin's support. We noticed that the presidents of
Armenia have always received the baptism of the political leadership
of Russia, and they did not even hide it, moreover, at the time of
the presidential elections in Armenia, rumors were spread about the
visit of the President of Russia to Armenia, Mr.
Manoyan countered that this is the evidence of the fact that the
President of Russia is more obligated to Armenia and the Armenian
people than Azerbaijan and Azerbaijani people. "This should be
considered as a direct intervention if he had done something like
that with us. I think it would have more negative consequences than
positive." To our question whether this visit is a message in terms
of Karabakh conflict settlement, Giro Manoyan answered, "I still do
not know what they will speak or what they will publish from their
conversations, at least with regard to Karabakh, or what they will
sign. I do not think that they will sign something with regard to
Karabakh. But, to my thinking, this visit will not have real effect,
real outcome on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement. I do not
think that RF is willing to see Karabakh issue settled as of today. RF
wants itself to have an impact on the region, and this visit should
be looked at in this frame, although this is not a conduct expected
from the strategic ally. Although there is no violation of the legal
provisions of the strategic alliance, but as a conduct, it is not
expected. However, we must not make a tragedy out of it."
