Ruben Vardanyan, a Russian billionaire of Armenian descent, who recently announced his move to Karabakh in a video message, standing under the 2-thousand-year-old official Tengri in the village of Shikh Dursun (part of the village of Red Bazaar of the Khojavensky district of Azerbaijan), held a press conference In Hankendi, during which he calls himself “an” Armenian and patriot “.
Vardanyan refuted rumors that were executed around his personality, especially in terms of an unexpected move to Karabakh. Some believe that the billionaire abandoned Russian citizenship and announced his relocation in Karabakh solely due to selfish reasons.
“I developed projects, made investments, and all this for Armenia to be a strong, happy and independent country. This is exactly the basis of my activity,” the businessman assured.
.
According to an already former citizen of Russia, he found his niche and is now ready to sacrifice everything. Vardanyan also announced that he would take care of political activities. He does not exclude that he will run for the post of Prime Minister of Armenia.
Yes, if necessary, I will go to everything, ”said Vardanyan, answering the question of the possible nomination of his candidate for the post of Prime Minister of Armenia in the event of a subsequent such necessity.
The businessman said that his position is justified by “purely patriotic considerations”, adding that he simply does not have any other reason.
Recall that in his appeal, Vardanyan urged to increase the number of Russian peacekeepers in Karabakh and clarify their mandate. He also said that he created the “Fund for the Security and Development of Karabakh” and called on all the Armenians of the world to support the Karabakh Armenians.
At a press conference, the billionaire called the future world between Azerbaijan Armenia “Pill Paper.” “It costs nothing if you are weak. This paper does not provide any security. Such agreements did not help many countries. Including the strongest … I believe that the world can only be achieved if both sides understand, that the new war will be the last for them, ”Vardanyan explained.
The fact is that the last phrase of Vardanyan corresponds to the situation in Armenia. The Armenians in a 44-day war realized that another war would be the latter for them, and as a result, in last year’s early elections they supported the “losing land” of Pashinyan, and not close to Vardanyan revengeists. Over the past two years, the Azerbaijani army has repeatedly resembled Armenia and the remnants of armed Armenian separatists in Karabakh that another war or even an attempt to war could be an end for them.
