VLADIMIR KARAPETYAN. "SERZH SARGSYAN HAS ALSO INVITED PUTIN, BUT HE PREFERRED TO GO TO OUR OPPONENT."
August 14 2013
President of Russia Vladimir Putin visited Baku after 7 years of
interval. In the interview with Aravot.am as to what are the motives
behind the visit, how it will effect Armenia, or what expectations
we should have, especially when we will be signing the Association
Agreement, regarding to which anti-Armenian attitude of Russia,
and the approach of Russian-Azerbaijani relations is visible,
answering the question, the Chairman of the ANC Foreign Relations
Committee Vladimir Karapetyan said,- "Recently, Russia's attitude
with reservations becomes a projection to Armenia. We all know that
Serzh Sargsyan had also invited Putin to Armenia, but Putin preferred
to go to our opponent. This visit was quite a demonstration. It is
commonly remarkable that during his tenure Serzh Sargsyan managed
to spoil relations not only with Turkey, and not only to reach the
peaceful process of Nagorno-Karabakh a deadlock, to the point, such a
deadlock, where nobody can see the exit, but also to spoil relations
with Russia. It is already a new achievement for Serzh Sargsyan, a
painful incident. And he is the only person responsible, the leader,
who managed to spoil the tradition of 20-year continuous policy
balanced with foreign policy, when we were successful in having
progressive relations with the European Union, NATO and establish
similar positive background with Russia; and now Armenia is facing
serious challenges."
To the next question as to how dangerous the approach of
Russian-Azerbaijani relationship may be for us, and how it would
be expressed, Mr. Karapetyan noted that it is hard to say what
fermentations they will have, but it is a fact that the balance is
violated, balanced relationships do not exist, which was founded by
various leaders, ministers of foreign affairs. Vladimir Karapetyan
thinks, "They can reach agreements behind closed doors that are
not to the best of our interests, and there is a concern that such
conversations will be held between Aliyev and Putin. As the bear has
seven songs, and all seven is about honey, the same for Aliev, all his
seven songs are about Karabakh. The Russian side has also confirmed
that there will be debates on Nagorno Karabakh, accordingly, it would
only be possible to know what agreements have been reached in Baku."
