“What a shame!”, “they are depraving us,” “all this is to full the humanity, sooner or later Europe will impose all this on Armenia”… We may bump into such comments and remarks under articles and videos posted by Russian or European sources. Recently we more frequently see such posts characteristic to yellow press.
The last option would probably be the most optimal decision. By the way, if this scenario really takes place then the most feasible candidate would president would be Paruyr Hayrikyan, which had been long ago suggesting electing him a symbolic president in order to bring the actual parliamentary democracy to life.
Quite recently I have noticed a very interesting thing on the media: environment activists have organized an auction of honey and berries
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.
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 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.
