“In case of any military confrontation Russia is being engaged in acquisition and maintenance of ceasefire regime, due to which it increases its influence on all sides. Despite the fact that some of them enjoy this or no, we’ll face a situation, when Armenia’s dependency from Russia will intensify, however, it’ll intensify in case of Azerbaijan as well, we’ll see that other external actors will face serious problems in case of engagement with the conflict, this refers Turkey and Western actors, which creates a new situation,” Minasyan said. Touching upon Armenia-Russia relations, Sergey Minasyan said, it’s natural, both Yerevan and Moscow should get lessons from the occurrences, as it was a cold shower for Russia.
From April 2 it became finally clear, that Armenia, not having foreign policy, moreover, doesn’t have a ministry of foreign affairs, and in particular, a minister called the one. Edward Nalbandyan is the living edifice to absence of Armenia’s foreign policy. After April 2, however, processes have been developed on public-political platform, directed to restoration of lost sovereignty.
“Many people claim that power of the small isn’t power at all. In fact, it’s not so, even AMD 1000 is a big support. Just let me bring one indicator—Total amount of investors up to 100 000 drams comprises AMD 15 million. And I’m thankful from him/her as well, I didn’t write this to mock at, I wrote this, so that we understood big power and possibilities of small people,” A.Khurshudyan wrote, adding that one shouldn’t think and wait for the small number of the rich to solve our problems.
“An attempt is made to change the current status-quo. However we can’t say that a new status has been established on the conflict zone. Who benefitted from this? It’s needless observing some secret documents and extraordinary facts to understand what has happened and why. The status quo was inadmissible for Baku, this has been repeatedly stated, and still there was a chance for military settlement and an alternative to fail the political process. Political settlement is more beneficial for Armenia, it’s in favor of the country, as time works for Armenia. Although there are some other issues: economic development, impossibility to enter an external world, regression, migration.”
Artsvik Minasyan, RA Minister of Economy, visited “Meridian” Jewelry Free Economic Zone today, and in a briefing with reporters stated it’s anticipated, that we’ll have about 300 workplaces in the Free Economic Zone, and average salary, according to him, will be within USD 200-300, “As per assessments of our specialists, we expect a positive index.

I am therefore struck by the lack of cooperation on Nagorno-Karabakh between Washington and Moscow in recent days. Rather than uniting for concerted action in the spirit of the Minsk Group, Putin has been going it alone. Perhaps he seeks to undercut any credit Vice President Biden might have garnered for invigorating the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process when he met separately with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian President Serge Sarkisian the day before the flare-up in violence. Or perhaps Putin was angered that Sarkisian and Aliyev proceeded with their White House meeting on the margins of President Obama’s nuclear summit at the end of March, which the Russian president boycotted.

“The Armenian nation is more powerful, than it used to be 25 years ago, when it was in USSR, there was war, but there were only volunteers, freedom fighters, and there were no unmanned aerial vehicles and a regular army in the Republic of Armenia, support from abroad was reaching by unknown ways, it was impossible to connect to Armenia. Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh are states now, “on their feet,” have armies, new ways, the Diaspora and Armenia have interests as well, currently we are more powerful , but under those conditions, we won the war 25 years ago, i.e. I have no doubt that we’ll win the war if it continues, however, I wish, it didn’t. God willing, it didn’t happen, but if it occurs, we’ll win. Karabah is our Sparta, and we all should be united around the concept of Sparta. There is no other way out. When a nation is at war, there is no any way out.”
“As there is no settlement, each side has its own disposition, the situation would better be frozen, rather than shifted to a hot stage. Although I insist, that regional conflicts are hazardous even at a frozen condition, but there is no way out, and it’s completely in line with the logic of Russia-led policy” Alexander Rahr said.
