Units of the 102nd Russian military base started the main phase of tactical exercises and went on to defense in high altitude conditions at Alagyaz polygon. Motorized rifle, tank, artillery and special forces interact in repelling attacks of conditional rival.
“However, saying that Ukraine was the main topic of the Summit will be great exaggeration. Major topic was security of the alliance. And this means—Russia. Decisions adopted in Warsaw—strengthening of NATO’s presence in the east of Europe, shift from missile defense system to initial martial readiness condition, show that they’re not going to sit with hands folded in the alliance and wait for new Russian provocations. In fact, that readiness has a rather serious sense. I’d say, for our country the fact, that Putin has awakened NATO, is important, as if NATO focused on Ukrainian issues, that would lead only to further escalation in our country.”
“NATO expressed its readiness to develop relations with all partners, including Armenia. Time will show upon which format Armenia-NATO cooperation will develop under the deepening confrontation between NATO and Russia. Armenia’s authorities, continuing to pursue traditional pro-Russian policy contribute to deepening of dividing lines in the region. It’s particularly observed against the background of Georgia-NATO relations.”
“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.”
“Currently Christianity faces serious challenges in the Middle East. Economic alert, unsafe conditions, terror and migration have serious implications. This situation isn’t only the concern of Christians, it should also become the concern of the Arabic world and Europe. Moreover, absence of Christian-Islam coexistence will turn that part of the world into a center of extremism. It’s a bothering phenomenon, practical expression of which we are already observing,” Aram A said.
According to the Bible, Armenia was the first wine-producing region in the world, since it was on the slopes of Mount Ararat that Noah planted the first vine after the flood. Archaeologists agree — at least on the long tradition: a 6,100-year-old winery was discovered not long ago.
“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?”
“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.”
“A few important issues have been settled at Warsaw NATO Summit. First, NATO is deploying armed forces in Baltic countries and in Poland, which was also planned before. Poland and Baltic countries are becoming full NATO member countries. The verbal veto, which Russia had regarding this issue, was eliminated. Second, the fact, that it has been stated, that Georgia will become a NATO member country, and serious cooperation will be recorded with Ukraine, and here again Russia’s veto was removed regarding the states of post-Soviet space.”
“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.”
