“Presence of West in Armenia must be prevented in all way possible as
long as America and NATO are the allies of Turkey”, Jirayr Sefilyan
answered our question regarding the relations of NATO-Armenia and
Russia-Armenia.

He said that Armenia’s relations with Russia are more preferable than
with America since it is the ally of Turkey.

“The task of America is to now convince Armenian society not to be
afraid of the Turks. As soon as majority of Armenian people treats
the Turks as brothers, Russian troops will withdraw from Armenia. But
Turks remain Turks. The brutal murder of Gurgen Margaryan proves it”,
Sefilyan said.

Mr. Sefilyan is against sending an Armenian military group to Iraq
because it means to spoil the relations with the Arabian world. It
is intolerable since there are great Armenian communes in the states
of Middle East.

Sefilyan announced entrance of the Armenian group to Iraq must be
hindered even if Parliament ratifies the agreement.
