“I think, it’s excessive optimism from their side, as Russia won’t be allowed to enter into trade relations, and in fact, not to recognize Karabakh’s independence, deploying here Russian troops with the price of resuming new war,” Aghasi Yenokyan noted. In his conviction the West won’t allow it to Russia and Azerbaijan, and the forthcoming visit of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry to Moscow will cover that issue.
The investigation showed General Director of the “Armenian Nulcear Power Plant” CJSC G. Markosyan, Commercial Director R. Movsesyan, Deputy Director of Finance and Economy M. Movsisyan and Head of the Renovation, Preparations and Regulatory Department, Head of the Procurement Department E. Ghazaryan, have formed an organized criminal group and abused their official positions and are involved in large-scale embezzlement, causing substantial damage to the state.
“We can confront, we can compete, withstand and win. We sometimes underestimate our possibilities. We have the same opinion about ourselves as our adversaries. Our compatriots choose an easy way and say bad things. We can have a military-industrial complex, we can produce competitive armaments: for this we need to have authorities with a political will.”
“It is scheduled that in the 2nd year of the project the exports will amount approximately 5 million dollars, and in the 5th year –around 12 million. During the first year it is planned to manufacture and export up to 1000 devices, and increase the quantity up to 5500. The main export direction is Russia,” Artsvik Minasyan said.
“Azerbaijan didn’t review its revanchist and fascist approaches in any way, it’s their issue. If such a statement is made, we should somehow thank them for being frank from this perspective, they always state their purpose is annexation of Artsakh, destroying Artsakh, they don’t hide their approach. It’s strange, on the one hand we have such a neighbor, rather treacherous, and on the other hand, it frankly states on its intentions.”
“Yes, CSTO is a military-political alliance, the goal of which is to ensure security of the member states. As the founding member, Armenia has always been convinced that CSTO intends to cooperate with NATO. We have not reached any tangible success in this issue yet, possibly because NATO is considered a more organized and acceptable structure. However, we do not observe our interests in the context of contradictions. We always wanted that interests of the USA and Russia coincided, and they had no conflicts.”
“Our perseverance makes us different from others, we don’t surrender. The other factor, which is more subjective, is that we preach justice and geniality. If we scientifically prove why it’s so, it’s linked to the fact, that we are the first nation to adopt Christianity. Hundreds of years ago our generations were brought up and grew on Ten Commandments, were brought up to be preacher of what to do properly. I think profession of a journalist is natural for us: in which other field the idea of public good may be preached, than by this profession?”
There are indices, regarding which we’re among world leaders. For instance, we’re the first regarding mobile coverage: we have 100% coverage. We’re ranked the first in competition in the field of mobile communications. We hold the 8th place in literacy of elder people (99.8% of population is literate). Regarding broadband internet we’re in favorable position as well—24th place.
“In my conviction, it’ll become a benchmark milestone for NATO, it will realize how justified the decisions were , in particular, deploying multinational military units in Baltic countries and in Poland,” Tsintsadze said. According to the latter, although Georgia didn’t obtain what it wanted—NATO membership plan, it recorded a serious progress.”
“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.”
