13:48, 19.07.2014
YEREVAN. - Member of Yerevan city council Davit Sanasaryan commended
the statement by Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan that Armenia should
rely on itself while defending its borders.
Sanasaryan, member of opposition "Barev, Yerevan" bloc, is confident
that Armenia must rely on its forces, not those of Russia or the West.
"I do not like when they say the future of our land is in the hands
of others. Yesterday I read Seyran Ohanyan's statement indicating
that Armenia is capable of ensuring its own security without external
forces. I really liked it and do support such an approach," Sanasaryan
told reporters.
He noted that for many years Armenia has been negotiating the Madrid
Principles that are unacceptable for the Armenian people: return of
seven regions around former Nagorno-Karabakh autonomous region and
deployment of peacekeepers.
"Nevertheless, we are being imposed these principles. Not external
forces, but Armenian authorities are to blame, as they are unable to
influence anyone," he emphasized.
