RUSSIA MUST KNOW THAT ARMENIA ALWAYS HAS AN ALTERNATIVE
Head of Modus Vivendi center Ara Papyan, political scientist, dwelt on
the issue of Russia's sale of armaments to Azerbaijan. According to
him, Russia should not sell weapons to Azerbaijan because Armenia is
its strategic partner, and these kinds of partners are those who are
ready to sacrifice their economic and political interests for the sake
of their partner. Armenia should issue an official statement about the
unacceptability of such a behavior of our partner. We have always been
committed to our partnership with Russia and have had economic losses.
When we apply to the West for investments, they say your strategic
partner is Russia, so let it help you. While our strategic partner is
arming our enemy, says Papyan adding that in case of a war thousands
of victims will be recorded on both sides and Russia should announce
that it is earning money on our blood.
The arguments that Russia supplies free of charge weapons to Armenia
is groundless because no one ever saw those weapons. The speaker noted
that it is impossible to know the reaction of Russia to the war because
we have the sad experience of how it behaved in 1917, 1929-20, 1990s.
According to Ara Papyan, Russia's step is determined by the fact
that Armenia is in Russia's pocket, but Russia must know that Armenia
always has an alternative.
Ara Papyan said relating to the membership to the Eurasian Union that
we can't join a structure, about which we have no idea. That is an
amorphous idea.
