GENERAL ARKADY TER-TADEVOSYAN ISSUES STATEMENT ON DETENTION OF LEVON HAYRAPETYAN
20:34 * 16.07.14
Armenian General Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan (Komandos) has issued
a statement on the detention of the Armenian businessman and
philanthropist Levon Hayrapetyan.
"The Russian Federal Security Service has detained one of the most
active advocates of Russian-Armenian friendship and great patriot of
Armenia and Russia, well-known philanthropist Levon Hayrapetyan.
"I have for many years been an intimate friend with Levon Hayrapetyan
and I have no doubts that the action was aimed at overshadowing
Armenian-Russian friendship, the advisability of Armenia's accession
to the Eurasian Economic Union and, to an extent, affecting the
construction of the Defense Army of the Nagorno-Karabakh Artsakh
Republic.
"The aforementioned suggests a political order for Levon Hayrapetyan's
detention and prosecution, which has deeply perplexed the people who
know the well-known Armenian philanthropist well. The Republic of
Azerbaijan is the only state in the world expected to the discontented
with Levon Hayrapetyan's activities. Its leaders are furiously jealous
of the Armenian states' achievements. It is the Azerbaijan that,
using windfall petrodollars, is trying to resolve its problems by
means of ordinary presents and 'caviar diplomacy', a term that has
gained international currency. I would like to recall the words of
the CE Secretary General, who said that 'Azerbaijan's caviar diplomacy
is a threat to the CE Parliamentary Assembly's sovereignty.'
"Regrettably, some Russian structures, including the Federal Security
Service, still have in their ranks dishonest people, who are ready
to betray their own country's interests for thirty silver pieces. And
I am sure no one doubts that strong Armenians states located between
a NATO member-state and Russia is in Russia's interests.
"I am recalling this fact for one more reason, namely, that Levon
Hayrapetyan is the main sponsor of the military schools being
constructed in Nagorno-Karabakh, and it is on his initiative that
it has been named after the outstanding Russian military figures of
Armenian descent - Alexander Suvorov and Valerian Madatov.
"Of course, the Armenian people cannot remain indifferent to Levon
Hayrapetyan's fate, but I am sure that people will raise their voice
in his defense not only in Armenia, but also in Russia - the Russia
for whose development Levon Hayrapetyan has been and will yet be
doing a lot.
"On the other hand, I hope that the misunderstanding will soon be
cleared up and Levon Hayrapetyan will resume his noble activities
as a tireless champion of Armenian-Russian friendship, which is so
necessary for our countries."
