June 28, 2013 | 11:30
YEREVAN. - Our strategic ally Russia gives $1 billion in weapons to
Azerbaijan which threatens us; this is $500 of weapons per citizen.
Armenia's opposition National Self-Determination Union (NSU)
Chairman, ex-presidential candidate Paruyr Hayrikyan-who survived an
assassination attempt that was staged against him on January 31-stated
the aforesaid during a press conference on Friday.
He noted, however, that it is not enough to just raise hysteria
against imperialist Russia.
"Had they not shot at me and my rating had continued to grow [during
this year's presidential election campaign season] and I were elected
President [of Armenia], I already would have taken measures [in this
direction]," the NSU leader stated.
Speaking about the avenues to get out of this situation, he said the
Armenian state should have-for example-invited the OSCE Minsk Group
co-chairs and expressed its protest.
In addition, Paruyr Hayrikyan proposed the citizenry to unite and
carry out a power change.
