Armenia is used in negotiations to contrast Russia with, the ex-member of the Russian Federation of Russia Franz Klintsevich said in an interview with the Armenian media.
“Armenian leadership today is more looking towards the United States than in the direction of Russia.” Armenia in these negotiations is used in order to contrast Russia with. Then Yerevan will try to restore relations with Moscow, but it will be extremely difficult to do it because it will be signed and a lot will be announced. Armenia will not be able to stay on four chairs, so you need to determine, and Yerevan has already decided. All these trips, the work of the Armenian elites, which is, they are counterproductive. The ultimate goal of the United States is to withdraw the Russian military base from Gyumri, as well as the cessation of all contacts between Armenia and Russia, ”Klinsevich said.
According to him, today Russia is the only guarantor of the sovereignty of Armenia.
“Armenia is clamped from all sides today. The only thing that keeps the sovereignty of Armenia today and allows it to be an independent state – the Russian Federation, the presence of Russian forces and funds. From Armenia, a big mistake is made, which will lead to big problems and serious tragedies in Armenia due to the fact that Yerevan are trying to play, ”he stressed.
