YEREVAN, MAY 27, ARMENPRESS. The caretaker Minister of Defense Vagharshak Harutyunyan is currently in Moscow on a visit. The chair of the parliamentary committee on defense and security Andranik Kocharyan told reporters that Harutyunyan’s visit is a “very important trip”.

“The caretaker Minister of Defense departed to Moscow in the morning on a very important trip as part of our military-political cooperation,” Kocharyan said.

Kocharyan himself just returned from the Russian capital in the morning where he was taking part in the CSTO PA defense and security affairs committee meeting. Kocharyan delivered a report on the situation in the Caucasus. “And our assessments were rather strict regarding the CSTO’s slowness. The CSTO is the way it is today. But the CSTO has the opportunity, and today’s realities and situations dictate that CSTO structures fulfill their task and come out of this slowness and become more viable, problem solving,” he said.

“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
