YEREVAN. – Hraparak daily of the Republic of Armenia (RA) writes: RA Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to RF [(Russian Federation)] Vagharshak Harutyunyan’s relations with both the Russian official elite and the staff of Armenia’s embassy are not going so smoothly.

And the second news reported by our embassy sources is that the permanent representation of Artsakh [(Nagorno-Karabakh)] in the Russian Federation, which has been operating since the [19]90s, may soon be closed. The role of this structure will be carried out by the second envoy of the [Armenian] embassy [in Moscow].

His candidacy also has caused an internal dispute between the [Armenian] MFA and the ambassador. Vagharshak Harutyunyan insisted that one of his close associates, Suren Sahakyan, who worked as [RA] Deputy Minister of Defense from January to July 2021, be appointed to this position. (…).

The MFA has its candidate. He is one of Artsakh’s deputy FMs, but our diplomatic source does not specify the name. (…).


Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
