New Times political party President Aram Karapetyan says that
Russian-Armenian relations have soured of late even though he sees
no overt anti-Armenian policies emanating from Moscow.
Karapetyan says the reason is that Moscow is implementing an
incomprehensible set of policies in the Caucasus and that, on the
other hand, the authorities in Armenia are still enacting the absurd
foreign strategy of "both Europe and Russia".
Commenting on the overtly passive response of Armenia's Ministry of
Foreign Affairs on the matter, Karapetyan said, "It's hard for me to
comment regarding the stance of an institution that really doesn't
exist in definition."
At a press conference today, Karapetyan condemned Russian law
enforcement authorities for their despicable and inhumane act of
dressing up Hrachya Haroutyunyan, a truck driver charged with causing
the deaths of 18 people, in a woman's housecoat before appearing in
a Russian court the other day.
While Karapetyan doesn't believe the Haroutyunyan affair will cause a
new clash in relations between Armenia and Russia, he says it does show
that the threat of a new war breaking out in the region is growing.
