Armenia – Feb 25 2022


After the Ukrainian events, I believe the Armenian-Turkish agenda will slowly be thrown into the “garbage.” Artak Zakaryan, a member of the former ruling Republican Party of Armenia and ex-deputy defense minister of the country,  told this to a press conference Friday.

Moreover, according to him, the respective welcoming by the Turkish president means nothing.

"Our region should be viewed from above, not through the prism of the current [Armenian] authorities consisting of capitulators. I believe that the Armenian-Turkish 'love intrigue' that emanated between the political elites of the two countries, which was imposed on us as a result of capitulation [in the 44-day Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) war in the fall of 2020], will gradually end. Turkey's role in international processes will also gradually decrease. The thing is that due to the new global conflict, Turkey must also make a decision," Zakaryan explained.

However, as per the former Armenian official, Turkey still manages to “maneuver.”

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
