YEREVAN. - The West made a gross mistake in Ukraine, and Russia took
advantage of it.

Former Karabakh Committee member, Armenian political activist Ashot
Manucharyan stated the aforementioned at a press conference on Friday.

In his words, the mistake was that the West also raised a geopolitical
matter in Ukraine; that is, not solely getting rid of the ruling
regime, but choosing a European path.

In turn Russia, as per Manucharyan, stated that the West wants to
destroy the Ukrainian industry and introduce foreign values.

"[But] the West does not repeat the same mistake in Armenia. In
Armenia, we hear these calls by the West: Avoid any geopolitical
issues; the main problem is the ruling regime, against which a
rebellion must be prepared," the political activist noted.

Ashot Manucharyan stressed, however, that the West's ultimate goals
in the region are geopolitical.
