Our strategic partner is taking actions against us by supplying arms to
our rival, which we are actually in war with, and this is condemnable
Armenia's ex-Ambassador to Canada, Director of the Modus Vivendi
Centre Ara Papyan. According to him, Armenia should clearly declare
about its position and state that the phenomenon is unacceptable.
Touching upon the issue, President of the Christian Democratic Union
Khosrov Harutyunyan said this will not bring about any changes in
the region. However, according to him, these are steps targeted at
strengthening the role of Russia in the region. At the same time, it's
strange to Khosrov Harutyunyan that our strategic partner supplies
weapons to our enemy.
Ara Papyan does not share the opinion that Russia is punishing Armenia
for not joining the Eurasian Union. It would be a tactical error,
he said.
According to Ara Papyan, the problem here is not about the possible
change of balance in the region. The issue has political and even
moral aspects, besides the strategic one, he added.
"Armenia should condemn the deal and submit an official protest,"
Papyan said, adding that the bitter historic experience should be
taken into consideration.
Ara Papyan does not think this will increase the threat of resumption
of war, because there is a clear-cut political position, at least in
the West, that war will not benefit anyone, and only the interests
of the British petroleum are enough to prevent military actions.
