July 15, 2014 | 15:08
YEREVAN. - The statement voiced by Serzh Sargsyan in Argentina is a
response to the internal policy discussions within Armenian society,
analyst Alexander Iskandaryan believes.
In his recent interview with Argentinean La Nacion, Sargsyan touched
upon the sales of Russian weapons to Azerbaijan.
"It is a painful topic, and our people are much concerned about the
fact that a strategic ally is selling weapons to Azerbaijan. Despite
Russia's sale of weapons to Baku, I do not doubt that in a difficult
moment for us Russia will fulfill its commitments," President Sargsyan
said in an interview.
President Sargsyan reflected on what was going on within the country,
Iskandaryan said.
The analyst is convinced that the Armenian society, especially
after September 3, is nervous about everything that happens around
Armenia-Russia relations, including the weapon sales to Baku.
"In fact, nothing new happened. Russia has been selling arms to the
neighboring state since independence, and even earlier. Of course,
this is not good for Yerevan, but it is hard to imagine that the
Russians will once stop doing it," Iskandaryan told reporters.
