The ex-consul of Armenia to Sanct Petersburg Ruben Hakobyan who
now heads the Akunk analytical center says the admiration of some
government officials to the declaration signed by the presidents of
Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan on November 2 in Moscow is worrying. He
means the government officials who say this declaration is like
cold water on the head of the Azerbaijani militarism. According to
Ruben Hakobyan who was hosted at the Pastark press club for a news
conference, the declaration is not legally binding, besides there are
innumerable cases in history when war was launched immediately after
an agreement. Therefore, the response of those government officials is
worrying, especially that it is time we stopped threatening Azerbaijan,
hiding behind Russia, that in case Azerbaijan attacks, the Russians
will defend us.
According to the head of the Akunk analytical center, we should not
forget that Russia may be led by the motto of eternal interests rather
than eternal friends or foes. In other words, Russia may not defend
us or may defend us when it is too late.
