FREE DEMOCRATS: ARMENIA MUST DEMAND EXPLANATIONS FROM PRESIDENT PUTIN REGARDING SALE OF RUSSIAN ARMS TO AZERBAIJAN
Monday, December 2, 14:20
Armenia must demand explanations from President Putin regarding the
sale of Russian arms to Azerbaijan, the leader of Free Democrats
Party Khachatur Kokobelyan told ArmInfo on Monday.
“When a Russian commander said that the Collective Security forces
might interfere in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the Azeris reacted
immediately. As a result, the Russians hurried to explain that it was
just a mistake. Our case is much more serious, but our authorities
are still silent,” Kokobelyan said.
Regarding the ongoing protests against President Putin’s visit to
Armenia, he said that the protesters have a constitutional right
to protest.
“We do not object to partnership but we are against the suzerain-vassal
relationship. Today Armenia has become an instrument in Russia’s
hands. What we want is just equal relations,” Kokobelyan said.
