HAYKAKAN ZHAMANAK: ARMENIAN PRESIDENT SOUGHT TO SIGN WEAPONS DEAL IN CHINA?
09:10 * 31.03.15
The paper says it has learned from "well-informed sources" that
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan's recent trip to China was aimed
at concluding a weapons supply deal on privileged terms.
The sources have not reportedly clarified whether any deal was
reached at all but claimed that that the separatist ambitions of
Turkic-speaking minorities residing in China's north-west are a
concern for the country's government. With Armenia being the only
state between China and Turkey that is devoid of the Turkish element,
there are objective reasons for its strategic cooperation with China,
says the paper, adding that all the rest depends on the parties'
talent and skills to translate the plan into action.
