ARKADY KARAPETYAN: "RUSSIA IS PREPARING NEW ARMENIAN GENOCIDE"

Baku. Rashad Suleymanov - APA. "Russia is preparing a new genocide
against Armenia," said first commander of Karabakh separatists
Arkady Karapetyan in his interview with "Karabakh-open" portal while
commenting on large arms sale by Russia to Armenia.
These arms aim to annihilate thousands of Armenians: "I don't believe
that by selling weapons Russia is trying to maintain the balance in
Transcaucasia, on the contrary, it is boosting tension. It rather
balances the Russian military base which does not belong to Armenia.
I'm concerned over the acquisition of Smerch rockets by Azerbaijan.
Can you imagine what will happen if Smerch is used against Khankendi?
Thousands of people will die."
Karapetyan said that Russia sells its T-72 tanks to Armenia and T-90
tanks to Azerbaijan: "Why aren't they selling Smerch rockets, airplanes
and other types of weapons to us in order to keep the balance?"
Touching on Iskander ballistic missiles imported to Armenia, Karapetyan
noted that these missiles have been provided to the Russian base:
"If they gave them to us and trained local staff, that would
be different. Second, for example, Iskanders will be launched at
headquarters which may have been already dislocated during the war,
while Smerch is a direct threat to the population. One volley of
this missile will destroy 67 hectares. I think brotherly Russia is
preparing the Armenian genocide. I think when they say that it is
necessary to ensure the security of Armenia they mean the territories,
not people. State is not business, it is a higher value. Russia should
finally decide if it is a businessman or a serious state."
