YEREVAN.- Russia is not the only possible partner in terms of improving
Armenia’s safety, former member of Karabakh committee Ashot Manucharyan
told reporters on Friday.

He said strong Armenia can spoil atmosphere of intolerance created
by Caspian Turks’ regime.

“Peoples of Azerbaijan, including Turks living in Caspian region,
are affected by the regime. It is an artificial project having an
objective to exterminate Armenians,” he said.

Lezgians, Talyshi and other nationalities are persecuted as well,
Manucharyan added. Member of Karabakh movement stressed Azerbaijan
must realize that language of threats is pointless.

He believes Armenia must seek ways of cooperation. The main talks are
held with Russia but they would hardly yield result. Armenia may turn
to China and NATO, Manucharyan said.

“We have Armenian-populated Javakhk where a NATO base can be deployed
once,” he added.
