KIRO MANOYAN: RUSSIA DID NOT BEHAVE LIKE AN ALLY
Tuesday,
July 09
The sale of Russian arms to Azerbaijan does not fit into the
framework of Armenian-Russian strategic partnership, the ARFD Party's
representative Kiro Manoyan told reporters today.
"The deal was not a dereliction of the agreement obligations between
Armenia and Russia. But it was not the behavior to be expected by
an ally. There have been comments that the deal did not upset the
parity between Armenia and Azerbaijan, nevertheless, the likelihood
of a war is increasing. Naturally Azerbaijan's temptation to start
a war has grown," Manoyan noted.
In his words, the Russian authorities should have known that such
behavior would not meet with approval of Armenia.
"Russia chose an economic deal to keep its influence in the region,"
Manoyan said.
