    POLITICIAN: ARMENIA MAY BECOME AN ARENA FOR SHOWDOWN BETWEEN SUPERPOWERS

    ARMINFO
    Thursday, February 7, 21:44

    Armenia may become an arena for showdown between the superpowers,
    Ashot Manucharyan, member of Karabakh Committee, former advisor of
    the first Armenian President for National Security Affairs, said at
    today's press conference.

    He said that until very recently the Armenian authorities demonstrated
    their commitment to European values and their willingness to cooperate
    with Europe and the USA, however, everything has changed after the
    Russian delegation's visit, and an agreement on military and technical
    cooperation will shortly be signed.

    "Certainly, this complicates the situation in the West, they see
    Moscow's support and its increasing impact, consequently they will
    try to disharmonize the relations between the countries and create
    a chaos", Manucharyan said.

    He added that the assassination attempt against presidential
    candidate Paruyr Hayrikyan can be considered in this context, as the
    assassination attempt was against the candidate known as a "national
    symbol". As regards Hayrikyan's statement that the attack was organized
    by the survivals of the Soviet KGB, Manucharyan considers it to be
    an improbable version, as there are no such survivals any more.

    To remind, leader of the National Self-Determination Union,
    presidential candidate Paruyr Hayrikyan was shot in the shoulder Jan 31
    night and taken to hospital. He underwent surgery and on Feb 5 he told
    journalists that he felt good and did not consider the assassination
    attempt to be an obstacle for continuation of the election campaign.
