Twelve years ago something happened, which seemed to be not so important at that time. According to ArmenPress, on October 23, 2002, the RA Central Bank and its counterparts from Germany, in cooperation with the UN Education, Science and Culture office in Germany, initiated a memorandum of understanding between the Lorsch Church of Germany and Geghard Church of Armenia.
The question is how it should occur and where, especially the important thing for developing countries is the question of where the money comes from. Not all countries are able to ensure the well being of their populations, feed the work force. So, be careful with such statements.
“The voting of Armenia regarding the Crimea conflict at the UN GA was a real shame for Armenia. Nothing like that has ever happened during our independence period. We have never appeared in such a slave status,” yesterday stated NA MP, former foreign affairs minister Alexander Arzumanyan.
“The reason why Armenia voted against the resolution on Crimea at the UN General Assembly was highly connected with the NKR conflict and the influence of Russia,” told our reporter an expert of the Global Insight analytic center Lilit Gevorgyan. “Armenia is considered as a satellite state of Russia and indeed it is no news for Europe and US that Armenia is not a very independent state and doesn’t have a free foreign policy,” she said.
The Russian analysts and political scientists can be blamed of everything except the lack of honesty and sincerity. They say whatever they think when they speak about Armenia. Zhirinovsky is saying that it would be right to include Karabakh in Russia another nationalist is saying, “If you don’t wish to become a member of the Customs Union get the hell out of Karabakh.”

Back in 1997, when NATO was expanding due to Eastern Europe, Russia announced that it was the continuation of the frozen war, and such expansion would be negative. The next issue is the Black Sea and port. During the Soviet time the Crimea and Ukraine were a part of a big country, and a significant part of the Black Sea port infrastructure was concentrated in Sevastopol of the Crimea.
The Russian economy has had impressive growth period, however, it was not due to the existing capital and new investments but limitation of new potential investments and growth. Though the Russian financial situation as better compared to a number of developing countries, there were also massive investment projects such as the one in Sochi, which are over now.
If our ambassador spoke in Germany about the German pension reform I cannot even imagine what would happen to him. As of the political problem we all know that Armenia also has a self-determination objective with the Karabakh conflict. Therefore, the self-determination of any nation is important to us.
