No. Russia’s response depends on the content of the agreement to be signed. If there are provisions in the association agreement that would be against Russia’s interests or the provisions of our treaty with Russia, then we will get an adequate response from Russia. From this point of view it is strange that the content of the draft agreement is not published.

Azerbaijan’s leaders may not be aware that some of their incompetent underlings are causing great harm to the interests and reputation of their own country. Pres. Aliyev should take a short break from issuing daily threats to Armenians and pay a little more attention to “enemies” within his own government.

Materials are being prepared in the main investigative department of the RA police in regard of the extortion in Nairit factory, the results of which will soon be publicized by the police. This was the answer given to 168-Zham from the public relations department of the RA police.

As of June 1 of the current year the Armenian government paid the Asian Development Bank 163,685.99 USD as interest rate, out of which 156,564.89 USD was paid for Project 1 and 7,121.1 for the second stage of the project.

Almost day-by-day we can see the pressure of Russia on Armenia trying to keep it away from signing the Association Agreement in Vilnius. In these conditions, lustration would become a seal salvation for the small number of politicians and the big number of citizens who don’t wish to obey the interests of the Russian empire.

The Board of the RA Central Bank during its June 25, 2013 session decided to leave the refinancing interest rate unchanged.

The inaction of the Armenian government in regard of monitoring the investment project of North-South highway, cost the taxpayers 0,5 million USD. The Asian Bank has allotted 170 million USD to Armenia as a second trench. Because of the delay the money is still on the accounts of the Asian Bank.

While the Armenian government is trying to shun the dilemma between EU and the Eurasian Union, by doing everything not to make Russia mad, the latter plays more open cards with Armenia without spare formalities. The best example of that was yesterday’s statement of the Secretary-General of the Collective Security Pact Nikolay Bordyuzha, who claimed that Russia does a lot for Armenia.

Possibly Russia is letting the Armenian PM Tigran Sargsyan down in relation to the arbitration case “The Intergovernmental Bank vs. Rhinoville Property Limited” presided by judge A. Kamarov

We should differ local elections from the modern political history of Armenia. Unfortunately this political history is not written in the same manner as the history of the first and second republics. We don’t have the political history of the Armenian kingdoms either.
