PRE-PARLIAMENT STUDIES SITUATION IN SYUNIK OVER PASTURE ISSUE
13:53 ~U 30.04.13
Taking into consideration the government’s intention to provide Syunik
province’s pastures to Iran for rent, Pre-parliament is planning to
visit Syunik and is currently making a ‘field investigation’ to get
familiarized with the situation.
Speaking to reporters today, organization’s member, film director
Tigran Khzmalyan said they are trying to undertake serious measures
not to allow it. “If this meanness and betrayal are not stopped the
riffraff who are trying to play with our safety and with the fate of
our country will get a serious confrontation in Syunik,” Khzmalyan
said, asked whether they will go to Syunik.
Khzmalyan agreed with the remark that Iran is friend country and that
the initiative coming from them may be useful as these pastures have
remained unused and in case of their usage jobs will be created. He
said Iran is Armenia’s strategic partner and it is necessary to be
very attentive not to cast shadow on Armenian-Iranian friendship.
Khzmalyan though said that we first of all should defend Armenia’s
interests which sometimes do not coincide with the ones of the closest
strategic ally.
