European states and international organizations should realize that
today Armenia poses a serious threat to regional security, said
head of the Center of Political Innovations and Technologies Mubariz
Ahmedoghlu at a press conference Thursday.

"Europe should realize that it is impossible today to accuse Russia of
being the only country posing a threat to security in the Caucasus",
noted he.

According to the political scientist, Armenia has recently attempted
to use the "Christianity" card.

"Armenia is a weak state and therefore under the influence of external
powers might launch war against other states, including Georgia and
Russia. Yerecan has already received West’s support", said Ahmedoghlu.

"Armenia attempts to use the resistance in the Christian world for its
own interests. I mean catholicism and Orthodoxical world. Armenia wants
to show that it is the only Christian (Catholic) state in the South
Caucasus, for as is known Georgia has an Orthodox church. Moreover,
Armenians try to prove to Italy that they practiced Cristianity before
Rome, that they outstripped Italians by 13 years in this direction,
starting to practice Christianity in 201 when Italy started in 314",
noted the political scientist.

"Azerbaijan needs a calm region to develop further, while Armenia is
a poor state which needs to create a conflict situation. Armenia asks
everybody for financial support", said Ahmedoghlu.

He said that Yerevan is going to apply the weapon of a total of
$800,000,000 supplied by Russia not against Azerbaijan but against
Georgia.
