ArmInfo. Recently, there has been an  artificial aggravation of anti- Russian sentiments in Armenia, which  is actively developing by the efforts of various political forces.  The ultimate goal of these forces is the breaking of friendly  relations between the peoples of the two countries.  Head of the  Prosperous Armenia party, oligarch Gagik Tsarukyan, published this on  his Facebook page.  Tsarukyan cites as an example the fact that the  thesis on the need to revise the military agreement with Russia is  being introduced into Armenian society, which, ultimately, should  lead to the withdrawal of the Russian 102nd military base from  Armenia.

According to him, this is not only the dream of Turkey and  Azerbaijan, which constantly threaten the country with war and  destruction, but also creates fertile ground for the explosion of an  already fragile peace in the entire region.

"I would like to state unequivocally that I, as the leader of the  largest opposition political force in the Republic of Armenia, the  leader of the Prosperous Armenia party, as a politician, as a  citizen, will do my best to prevent provocations aimed at creating  anti-Russian sentiments in our country ", said Gagik Tsarukyan. He  expressed conviction that for the development of Armenia and  strengthening the security and independence of the country, it is  necessary to develop and strengthen relations with the Russian  Federation on the basis of mutual respect and fraternal centuries-old  relations. The development of these relations, according to the  businessman, must be carried out both on a bilateral basis and at the  level of the CIS, EAEU, CSTO and other political, economic and  military platforms that will be mutually beneficial for the two  peoples.

To recall, searches were conducted in the house of the PAP head Ganik  Tsarukyan in the morning of June 14, after which he was summoned to  the NSS for questioning. On the same day, the NSS reported three  criminal cases involving the name of a politician and businessman who  is considered the richest man in the country.
