Satik Seyranyan’s guest in the “Pressing” program is Stepan Danielyan, a political scientist and a member of the board of the “Mother Armenia” party.

The main points of the interview are below.

● There is an article on Andranik Tevanyan that implies that a closed court session should take place. There is no evidence of publishing a secret, let alone treason. Obviously, this is a political trial. There are no secrets in our country. Azerbaijan, Turkey, Great Britain, Russia and others have more military secrets than Suren Papikyan and Nikol Pashinyan. There were more than 100 deputies and staff at the session in question, and nothing unusual was heard at that session. Maps of the General Staff of the USSR, which are located in Russia, as well as issues of demarcation and demarcation were discussed. So there was nothing secret there.

● This government considers Russia an enemy country. If you arrest someone and consider him a spy, it means that we are dealing with an enemy country. in that case, what is your business in CSTO, CIS and EAEU? Their actions have led even Shoigu to make harsh statements.

● In Astana, Armenia will be asked a direct question: you decide where you are going, if you decide that you are going to the European Union, then EAEU markets are closed to you.

● In essence, the June 7 elections are a referendum. If the public elects this government, then they should be prepared that we will not receive gas from Russia, we will receive certain crumbs from Azerbaijan in the form of Russian gas. Let the villages be prepared that they will live badly.

● Both Russia and Iran have stated at a very high level that TRIPP will not work unless they are involved in the project. Otherwise, they will think that this project is directed against Russia, Iran and China.

● There will be guaranteed peace in Armenia when the interests of all interested countries coincide and they come to an agreement. If not, Armenia will become a hotbed of war.

● 2020 after the war, when Artsakh had not yet undergone ethnic cleansing, the Secretary General of NATO, the officials of the European Union and the State Department in the region said that we need the Russian peacekeepers to leave the region, after which we will enter Central Asia. And whoever controls Central Asia controls the world. It is possible to go to Central Asia only through the South Caucasus. And this government brought Armenia into this struggle, and it will be bloody.

● The Europeans put themselves in the place of an ostrich. they know very well that they buy Russian gas, only through Azerbaijan. Europe proudly buys Russian gas from Azerbaijan at high prices and happily announces that Russia has been put under sanctions. As a result, Azerbaijan and Russia are making money.

● If Russian gas is replaced by Azerbaijani gas, Armenia will become an Azerbaijani protectorate. Azerbaijan has even entered into competition with Turkey for Armenia and openly says that this is my territory.

● Turkey’s population is growing, but Turks say they have a demographic problem because the Kurdish population is growing, and that’s a problem for Turks. Now they want to drive Armenia into a wedge between the Turkish-speaking population, to take the Kurds under siege. The Kurdish question is a serious problem for the Turks.

● Ես կարծում եմ՝ եղել է լոբբինգ, որ Մարկո Ռուբիոն գա Հայաստան ու ինչ-որ թուղթ ստորագրի այստեղ: Դա եղել է՝ ինչպես Նիկոլ Փաշինյանի, այնպես էլ՝ թուրքերի ու ադրբեջանցիների խնդրանքով, ինչպես նաև՝ սիոնիստ ավետարանականների խնդրանքով: Կա նաև «Աստծո ժողովուրդ» կոչվող կրոնական համայնք, որը շրջում էր Նիկոլ Փաշինյանի հետ տարբեր եկեղեցիներով այդ կեղծ պատարագների ընթացքում. ներդրված էին նրանց մեջ ու տարբեր տեղերում խոսում էին եկեղեցու նորոգումից:

● I am sure that the USA coordinates its relations and actions with Armenia with Russia as well.

● The United States will work with any power that comes to power. Remember that Aliyev said: we don’t want to sign a contract with Nikol Pashinyan, but the Armenian people. That is why they are waiting for our elections in Azerbaijan.

● TRIPP is a statement whose mechanisms are not yet clear. Preliminary agreements take the form of express contracts. There is no need for Armenia to abandon TRIPP, but the details must be negotiated. If the parties increase and their interests coincide, this will become a zone of peace. The task of the future government should be to involve many parties in that project and make Syunik and the whole of Armenia a zone of peace.

● Opening the border with Turkey will destroy our entire agriculture. In the name of economic relations, we will deal with special services of Turkey.

● Pashinyan is a person who has no confidence either in Russia, the USA, or Europe. They don’t take him seriously, they know he’s a liar. In addition, he crossed red lines inside Armenia. There are other red lines, the crossing of which will not allow Russia to talk with this government under any circumstances. In any case, this man’s time is up, because his 2 terms are up, and besides, people are tired.

● These choices are fateful choices. Google changed the names of areas in its map, it could not have happened without the consent of this government. These destroy all moral codes, attack the church, change the emblems, divide the Diaspora, eliminate internal solidarity. This is not a matter of power. I am not calling for a vote for “Prosperous Armenia” alone, I am calling for a vote for any of the transient opposition forces, because this is a referendum on a process that, if we fail, will lead to the elimination of us as a nation. They have the real numbers, they are in panic and hysteria, and I think more so in the last week there will be interesting processes in public consciousness. I think the hysterical behavior of the current prime minister will help people make the right choice.
