ARMENIAN PUBLIC FIGURES QUALIFY RENT OF PASTURES IN SYUNIK TO IRANIANS AS TREASON

Pre-Parliament created by a number of public figures in Armenia
has disseminated a statement calling rent of the pastures in Syunik
region to Iranians as treason. The document says that the policy of
the country’s colonization to satisfy the personal interests and the
interests of certain clans in prejudice of the national interests,
alongside with barbarian destruction and exploitation of natural
resources and human potential of the country has been reflected in
the foreign policy of the Armenian authorities.

“After yielding the strategic facilities of the country to foreign
capital, turning Armenia into a raw-material appendage, founding
foreign-language schools, signing the Armenian-Turkish protocols, and
admitting a defendant position in the Artsakh issue, the authorities
have made a deal to rent the pastures in Syunik to Iranians. The
next logical step in the given chain will be voluntary yield of the
country’s sovereignty,” the statement reads.

Pre-Parliament is concerned over possible desertion of the lands,
animal diseases and threat to the health of the people, as well as
reduction of the means to subsistence of the local population and
the illegal aspects of the given deal. Pre-Parliament recalls that
the authorities’ try to deprive the people of the instinct to self-
preservation and the ability to feel danger to the motherland. In
such situation the Armenians often consolidate and make a proper
counterblow, the statement says. Pre-Parliament demands the
Administration to cancel that anti-state deal and urges the people
to be consistent in failing the process of yielding the motherland
to strangers, the statement reads.

According to Armenia’s Territorial Administration Ministry, no specific
decision has been passed so far. “We do not even know if the lands
will be communal or governmental,” the Ministry says.

To note, the World Bank’s $250mln CARMAC project – a facility aimed
at fostering the most competitive and stable mechanisms to develop
pastures and cattle breeding – includes the above-mentioned lands
in Syunik.
