Yerevan /Mediamax/. Political scientist Stepan Grigoryan said today
that Russia has recently forgiven Cuba a debt amounting to USD 30bln
when years ago it did not forgive Armenia's debt to the tune of USD
100mln and took several enterprises in return.
The political scientist stated that considering this fact he has
concluded "Russia loves Cuba 300 times more than it loves Armenia".
According to him, Armenia should draw lessons of realism from Russia.
"Armenia should make an official statement declaring that since nobody
is waiting for us in the Eurasian Economic Union, we are restoring
our relations with the EU within the Association Agreement", noted
Stepan Grigoryan.
Answering the question as to whether Europe will take such a decision
seriously, he stated that despite the disappointment Europe has
to Armenia there will by all means be states supporting Armenia to
restore the faith of the rest of states to us.
"Until September 3, 2013 Russia was committed to persuading Armenia
not to sign the Association Agreement promising large amounts to the
tune of USD 12-15bln in case of taking the way to the Customs Union.
Apparently, Russia cheated us. The Armenian President's latest speech
in which he voiced concerns regarding Russia's supply of weapons to
Azerbaijan proves it", said the political scientist adding that the
authorities do not work properly with Russia.
He pointed out that the purchase of weapons from Russia sparks
excitement in Azerbaijan and the recent activities observed on the
contact line are the result of it.
"Realizing that it can spark interest among Azerbaijan by using
the lever of Karabakh Russia did not wish to include Armenia in the
Eurasian Economic Union and is currently waiting for Azerbaijan's
response. The two-fold increase of the number of casualties on the
contact line compared to previous years comes to prove it. Over
the first six months of 2014 the number of casualties both parties
suffered has exceeded the number of casualties registered in 2013",
said Stepan Grigoryan adding that alternative levers are required to
reappear in the focus of interest of Russia.
