“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.”
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.
In 2014 the number of visitors from Armenia to Turkey reduced by 6.1%, thus comprising 67198. And in 2015 sharp decline was recorded—27.8% or 18676 (comprising 48522). It’s not excluded though, that this decrease is conditioned by the Centennial of the Armenian Genocide.
As for the whole South Caucasus and NK conflict, Stewart stated that in relations with Armenia NATO attempts to assist to the reforms in the defense system, in reply to the support of Armenia’s peacekeeping mission, which NATO has always highly assessed. “However, in NATO-Armenia relations, due to membership to CSTO, thus, the sides don’t express ambitions for more,” Stewart said.
“The only reality is that Russia became rather aggressive towards NATO member countries and openly states that the policy of NATO’s expansion on its traditional zones of influence may be counteracted. Thus, the name of united air defense system—“Caucasian” was a hint to NATO, that Russia doesn’t intend to concede the Caucasus to any other security system.”
