The Brussels airport administration urged to stay away from the airport after the two explosions occurred. The airport management wrote on “Twitter”: “Two terrorist attacks happened at the airport.

“We should wait to see which direction the party will take and which steps it’ll initiate, as not established yet, it already has two functions: strong and weak. The weak factor is that party will be headed by Vartan Oskanian, who doesn’t possess peculiarities of a charismatic leader, however, it’s a weak factor as well.

“Not to sound strange, only the institute of fair and free elections may contribute to change of power in Armenia, which is beneficiary for the West. Once they tried, and saw there is no potential for color revolution in Armenia, i.e. it’s impossible to change a system through a street, in Armenia it’s possible only by means of fair elections,” he said.
The point is, not being an oil exporting country, Armenia is the one dependent from oil. We are deeply dependent form Russia’s economy through money transfers by working migrants.

As a human, I’m against it, it’s a shameful policy, if it were defensive armament, that’s another point, but it’s attacking one. If they don’t purchase it from Russia, they may obtain it from other countries, however, Russian armament is contemporary, powerful, productive, thus, they purchase from Russia tanks, jets, all of them are attacking. Russia arms Armenia’s opponent with attacking armament, and this policy instigates Russia to aggression, we think so, maybe it’s not so, I don’t know.
“My opinion is the following—Assad is standing on a strong grounding, so strong that it can solve issues of the Islamic State through the other contingent in Syria, thus, under this condition, it’s senseless to continue Russia’s actions in Syria, that brings forward a range of issues. Although I don’t think Russia’s this step will weaken West-Russia tension,” Rahr said. The latter isn’t sure that the decision will boost Syrian political settlement, assured by Russian experts.
