It s truism that a security system is not to be changed in such a
volatile situation, ex-member of Armenia's Parliament Vardan
Khachatryan told Tert.am as he commented on Armenian-Russian strategic
partnership.
"If you are to change a security system, you regularly find yourself
in such a dangerous situation when you lose the old without getting
anything new thereby becoming the easiest target for your prospective
enemies. In this context, we should consider that our security be
associated with Russia," he said.
With respect to external challenges, he said that the major threat is
the deepening confrontation between the key political actors.
"That is, according to the ideas of the nations that have geopolitical
interests - the United States, France, China - the world needs
restructuring. Regrettably, Armenia's role is all the processes is
among the most important ones, because if they want create problems
for Russia now, Ciscaucasia will be viewed as the most serious
problem, which has to do with Armenia," he said.
According to Mr Khachatryan, evidence thereof is that the United
States plans to establish a sports base for 10,000 people in Georgia.
As regards the Islamic State threat, he said that it poses extreme
threats that defy imagination, and if things go on "we are going to
deal with an army of fanatics."
"It is better if the Islamic State remains where it is than it would
be destroyed because in the latter case the fanatics will stream to
other countries. In this case, it is a matter of time when they blast
the countries from within," Mr Khachatryan said.
