August 15, 2013 | 13:30
YEREVAN. - A tiny, defenseless and fragile country like Armenia cannot
speak to the world with the language of "either, or," or "and, and."
Opposition politician Gurgen Yeghiazaryan noted the aforesaid during
a press conference on Thursday.
Yeghiazaryan said if President Serzh Sargsyan had been elected with
fair and transparent elections, he could have spoken with "either,
or," or "and, and."
"[Russian President Vladimir] Putin went to Azerbaijan thirteen years
later, and under the conditions when Armenian-Azerbaijani relations
are tense," he noted.
"Unfortunately, we [i.e., Armenia] had disgraceful sports diplomacy,
in the form of a football diplomacy, and disgraceful foreign policy,"
Yeghiazaryan argued.
In turn ruling Republican Party of Armenia board member Lernik
Aleksanyan noted that he considers it very natural that the Russian
president had to be in Azerbaijan ahead of the forthcoming presidential
elections in that country.
"They were quite restrained economic conditions, in which we see
nothing unusual; this is Russian policy in theSouth Caucasus,"
Aleksanyan argued.
He added that people need to know that Russia has interests in the
South Caucasus.
