    SARGSYAN-PUTIN TALK IS IMPOSED BY SITUATION - ARMENIA'S EX-OMBUDSWOMAN

    September 03, 2013 | 11:31

    YEREVAN. - The forthcoming Vladimir Putin-Serzh Sargsyan talk in
    Moscow is a meeting that is imposed by the situation, and it will
    not lead to any drastic change.

    Armenia's first Human Rights Defender Larisa Alaverdyan noted the
    aforesaid during a press conference on Tuesday.

    She added that there are matters which are not subject to discussion
    over the telephone, or by way of the mediators.

    Reflecting on Russia's sale of weapons to Azerbaijan, Alaverdyan
    specifically stated:

    "Russia is an independent state that can sell weapons to [official]
    Baku, and with this step it says: 'Defend on your own!'"

    Reflecting on the upcoming Moscow talk, ruling Republican Party MP
    Sukias Avetisyan in turn stated that the Armenian and the Russian
    presidents will discuss matters linked to the initialing of the
    Armenia-EU Association Agreement.

    "Up to now, we have spoken about 'either, or' and not 'and, and.' We
    have a strategic ally [i.e., Russia] where we have the largest
    [Armenian] community. On the other hand, we have an opportunity for
    integration intoEurope," Avetisyan said.

    He added that the initialing of the aforementioned agreement will
    have neither political nor legal consequences.
