The “black days” of Nairit CJST will soon end. 168-Zham has information that the factory will shut down on March 1. The recent failures of Nairit come to prove this. On these days the management of the factory is in a quite tense and worried state. We have written that the factory was making its lay-off lists for employees.
“Tomorrow I am leaving for Paris, where I will meet with co-chairmen, and the next day I will meet with the Azeri foreign minister Mamediarov,” said Armenian foreign minister Edward Nalbandyan in yesterday’s press conference. In fact this announcement is no news because we knew that the foreign ministers were going to meet on January 24. Other statements the Armenian foreign minister made were no news either.
I think that it is only up to the Armenian political elite to decide who will be Armenia’s president or prime minister. Moscow can be for or against something but I don’t think that this position can be decisive. It is a fact that Kocharyan was a predictable counterpart for Russia – first for Yeltsin and later for Putin. Many issues were decided due to personal contacts. However this does not mean that everyone is for Kocharyan’s appointment. Currently the situation in Armenia is very dangerous as any change in the status-quo situation may be fatal.
