Will NATO be security guarantor for Armenia?

Zhoghovurd: Will NATO be security guarantor for Armenia?

08:52 * 29.01.15

Following the recent bloody murder in Gyumri, the possible withdrawal
of the city’s Russian military came under the spotlight of the
Armenian and Russian media.

The paper says it has talked to the acting US ambassador to Armenia
for comments on possible security guarantees by NATO in case the plan
is realized. The question was asked particularly in the context of
tense Armenian-Azerbaijani and Armenian Turkish relations.

The reply which the paper received from the Embassy said reportedly
that that a partnership with as valuable a partner as Armenia depends
fully upon the Government. The diplomat said in the letter that no
question on Armenia’s membership is on the agenda at present given
that the country has not yet submitted any bid for joining the
North-Atlantic Alliance.

“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
