‘Is not Konstantin Zatulin ashamed of desire for Customs Union?’ –
Nagorno-Karabakh MP to Russian politician
11:28 * 27.05.14
In an interview with Tert.am, Vahan Badasyan, a crossbencher at the
parliament of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR), commented on a
statement by ex-member of the Russian State Duma Konstantin Zatulin
who said that “[they are] shamelessly raising the Nagorno-Karabakh
problem to torpedo their accession to the Customs Union.”
“But is not Zatulin ashamed of his desire to create a Customs Union in
Russia? It is because Russians do not care about either Armenia or
Armenia’s interests. I remember uninformed Russians would say in 1988
that ‘Armenian and Azerbaijani cannot not gather together and give the
Karabakhis a hard time!’ This is a matter of unawareness and of
Zatulin exposing Russia’s intention to give Nagorno-Karabakh back to
Azerbaijan.”
“Zatulin wants to be considered Karabakh’s friend. He is Karabakh’s
friend, but he wants it to be given [to Azerbaijan]. Is not Zatulin
shamelessly speaking of it thus declaring Russia’s program.”
