“Azerbaijan should recognize the right of self-determination and the implementation of that very right by the people of Nagorno-Karabakh and thus overcome the obstacle in the path of settlement.”
“I think the time will come, when Turks will rather calmly react to this fact, I mean, the Turkish authorities. When we look back, we’ll see that 5,7,10 years ago such reflections were quite different. 10 years ago no one could imagine that Turks could go into the streets on Istanbul or Ankara on the commemoration day of the Armenian Genocide and express solidarity with Armenians. Now all these happen and one cannot turn back to it. Time for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Turkey will come.”
“Recognition of Genocide doesn’t have a Christian nuance, the Genocide was recognized not only by individuals and states professing Christianity, here it doesn’t refer a Christian, but a humanist, a person, who condemns that crime committed against humanity. Of course, in certain cases, in certain issues our neighbors attempt to transfer religious nuance to those issues, depending on the audience,” Serzh Sargsyan, RA president, told at the interview to Arabic Al Mayadeen.
“Armenia’s authorities appeared in a situation not so favorable to them, as NATO, on the one hand touches upon the fact, that it’s not a threat for Russia and is ready for a dialogue with those countries, when Russia will be ready for that. On the other hand, Russia is rather nervous about expansion of NATO and I don’t exclude that Russia will press its partners so that relations with NATO will be reached to the minimum or be completely suspended.”
In case, when Russia persistently, without any formalities, with each step equals Armenia-Russia alliance to the ground, like Putin stated at recent meeting with Serzh Sargsyan, reaching it to the level of export of fruits and vegetables. Russia continues levelling to the ground Armenia-Russia relations, as Armenian political “mind” not only is silent, but sends people like Geghamyan to miscellaneous conferences to vote against pro-Armenian resolution, which contains criticism directed to Russia, and showing it as a brilliant example of patriotism.
“Regarding the tragic murder in Vachiani village of Akhalkalaki region, Ambassador of Armenia to Georgia Yuri Vardanyan held phone conversations with Samtskhe-Javakheti Governor Akaki Machutadze and Police Chief Teymuraz Kalandadze. As reported by the Georgian side, investigation is underway, the suspect has been arrested. The Armenian Embassy is in constant contact with Georgian law enforcement agencies and is closely following the developments. We express our deepest condolences to the relatives and friends of the murdered ones,” the MFA’s message reads.
“I was going to hand that letter to their Government next year, and in particular, to Erdogan, and I won’t open the brackets how it’ll be done. I will only say that I’m going to set another record next year, during which I’ll hand that letter. Presently I’m intensively preparing for implementation of that purpose.”
According to the preliminary information, the incident took place two days before. The relatives found the bodies on July 10. It is supposed that the mother and the daughters were deadly injured by blunt objects, whereas, 5 year old son was strangled to death. The Interior Ministry of Georgia has not commented on the incident yet.
Overnight July 10-11 the Azerbaijani side violated the ceasefire regime 14 times by firing more than 100 shots from automatic rifles, heavy machine guns and sniper rifles at the Armenian positions.
Great sins are attributed to great people. This isn’t regularity, however, such a tendency exists: some internal human aspiration seemingly needs to decrease difference between themselves and those, who are exclusive by their title and individuality. We come across with an episode of similar attitude, which relates reformist activity of Catholicos of all Armenians Mkrtich A.Khrimian—Khrimian Hayrik.
