/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Before becoming a part of the Russian Empire
the Eastern Armenia was a province of Persia. That period was
much longer than the "Russian stage". And so what, does it mean
that Persian-Armenian ties guarantee any special privileges for
modern Iran within Armenia? In this connection I'd like to remind
that at the beginning of the 20th century Armenian revolutionaries
did not favor too much the Russian Empire when imperial authorities
nationalized property of the Armenian Apostolic Church. And still I put
it mildly. Today Armenian Revolutionary Federation "Dashnaktsutyun"
is one of the "power parties" in Armenia and supports the idea of
strategic partnership with Russia," candidate of science, head of the
department of international relations at the Institute of Political
and Military Studies Sergey Markedonov stated in the interview to
PanARMENIAN.Net. He thinks that at the end of 1980ies Armenia was one
of the most anti-Soviet republics in the USSR. "In March of 1991 Azeri
authorities urged to vote for "refreshed union", however Armenian
leadership was already busy with preparing a civilized divorce with
the USSR. Today Yerevan is a CSTO and EURASEC member-state and makes
efforts towards closer integration in the framework of CIS. Thus, all
those who write and show about Armenia, as well as other republics of
the former "inviolable union" must understand a simple truth. There
will be no pro-American or pro-Moscow powers in Armenia. There will be
a pro-Armenian power only in Yerevan. And any other forces in Armenia
will not hold out even a minute. Any force will cooperate with Russia
only as much, as that cooperation corresponds to the interests of
that political force. Parliamentarian or presidential elections will
not change that iron rule," the Russian political scientist underlined.
