After Ukraine, Armenia was the second blow that was struck to the positions of Russia.
Russian Armenian political scientist Karine Gevorgyan, who is co-author of the 1995 report on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, on Tuesday noted the aforesaid at a press conference in Armenia’s capital city of Yerevan.
The analyst said, back in January, she had predicted the hostilities in the Karabakh conflict zone in early April.
She noted that Russia is simply confused by what occurred and the anti-Russian sentiments that surfaced in Armenia.
“The Armenian society was containing the insult [toward it by Russia],” noted Gevorgyan. “But it could not help noticing that Russia forgives the large debts of others, and it is solely Armenia that has paid [its debts to Russia] until the last penny, with its property.”
In terms of arms, the political scientist added that Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev supplied S-300 missile systems in the context of a difficult situation in Russia.
“There are Turkish advisers in the Azerbaijani army,” said the political scientist. “[Azerbaijan President Ilham] Aliyev has money. What can they [i.e. the Russians] offer? Weapon is the fastest and greatest money. Otherwise, Aliyev would buy arms from NATO.”
Separately, Karine Gevorgyan stressed that there is a high probability of a new short war in the Karabakh conflict zone in August.
“They [i.e. the Azerbaijanis] will burn the crop,” she explained. “It is inevitable.”
