"Armenia's stand on the Karabakh problem is wrong. Yes, this is our
opinion. I am making an official statement", Boris Tarasyuk, member
of the Ukrainian Supreme Rada, Co-Chair of the Euronest Parliamentary
Assembly, has said to ArmInfo's correspondent.
Such a viewpoint of Tarasyuk and Ukraine is partly explained by
Yerevan's stand on the Ukrainian crisis. In particular, Tarasyuk thinks
that Armenia is fully under the influence of "Russian propaganda";
consequently, it cannot demand understanding of other countries,
particularly, Ukraine in the matter of Karabakh problem settlement
and Armenian Genocide recognition. "If you do not recognize Putin's
unilateral continuous aggression against Ukraine, why should we
support your position? The Russian propaganda is very effective in
Armenia. The whole world considers Moscow to be an aggressor, but
Yerevan does not. If you deny Russia's aggression against Ukraine,
how can you demand the Armenian Genocide recognition from the
world?" says Tarasyuk.
When commenting on ArmInfo's remark that the Armenian Genocide
was committed 100 years ago and Ukraine could have followed other
countries' example and could have recognized that crime against
humanity, whereas the Ukrainian crisis is just 2 years old, Tarasyuk
says, "And why doesn't Armenia recognize the Ukrainian Holodomor?"
