YEREVAN. - The forthcoming Vladimir Putin-Serzh Sargsyan talk in
Moscow is a meeting that is imposed by the situation, and it will
not lead to any drastic change.
Armenia's first Human Rights Defender Larisa Alaverdyan noted the
aforesaid during a press conference on Tuesday.
She added that there are matters which are not subject to discussion
over the telephone, or by way of the mediators.
Reflecting on Russia's sale of weapons to Azerbaijan, Alaverdyan
specifically stated:
"Russia is an independent state that can sell weapons to [official]
Baku, and with this step it says: 'Defend on your own!'"
Reflecting on the upcoming Moscow talk, ruling Republican Party MP
Sukias Avetisyan in turn stated that the Armenian and the Russian
presidents will discuss matters linked to the initialing of the
Armenia-EU Association Agreement.
"Up to now, we have spoken about 'either, or' and not 'and, and.' We
have a strategic ally [i.e., Russia] where we have the largest
[Armenian] community. On the other hand, we have an opportunity for
integration intoEurope," Avetisyan said.
He added that the initialing of the aforementioned agreement will
have neither political nor legal consequences.
