The Russian president Vladimir Putin made interesting statements
during the board meeting of the Federal Bureau of Security. He
announced that the FBS must help Eurasian integration.
`Direct or indirect intervention in our internal affairs, pressure on
Russia, our allies and partners is unacceptable,' the Russian
president stated. Putin has announced that recently there were nervous
reactions to Eurasian integration, and he lists these among emotional
rhetoric of political figures. `Close integration is an objective
global process. And it cannot be stopped by exclamations, nervous
breakdowns, including in our territories,' Putin said.
Putin has announced that they may encounter and they do encounter
efforts to stop integration work. `Different instruments of pressure
may be used, including the so-called small force mechanisms,' Putin
announced and called the staff of the FSB to defend the integration
process and cooperate with Belarus, Kazakhstan, as well as other
countries participating in the integration process.
In fact, the Russian president Putin deploys the security services to
save the idea of Eurasian integration. In addition, he instructs a
landing of troops in those countries which Russia is trying to involve
in the Eurasian idea. Armenia is among these countries.
What will the Russian FBS do in the Republic of Armenia? Or have any
tangible actions been taken? By the way, Hairikyan's version of the
attempt on his life is interesting. At the same time, it is
interesting that on the day when Putin issued orders at the FBS, two
important events took place in Yerevan. The presidential candidate
Vardan Sedrakyan who is rumored in press to be related to the attempt
on Hairikyan states that Raffi had ordered to shoot at Hairikyan on
behalf of Masons. At the same time, on February 14 the head of the
parliamentary faction of the Heritage Party Ruben Hakobyan and the
Russian ambassador to Armenia Vyacheslav Kovalenko met.
It should be noted that Ruben Hakobyan used to be the consul of
Armenia to Sanct Petersburg and his membership to the Heritage Party,
a pro-West party, and his leading position there was a surprise.
The link between these two facts is not clear but they appear
interesting when viewed in the context of Putin's visit to the FBS and
his statements, especially in view of the Heritage's nominee's
aspiration to the second place in the presidential race.
Since Armenia has a key role in the Eurasian project, namely if
Armenia refuses to join, the Union will lose its geopolitical
potential and importance, and most probably Armenia will have a key
importance in the statements of the Russian president to the FBS.
Since Moscow already deploys the FBS publicly, the issue of
sovereignty of Armenia will most probably escalate.
It had been stated ahead of the parliamentary election that Putin
plans to visit Armenia but there is no news for so many months.
Moreover, Putin has not visited Armenia over the past five years.
Apparently, he will not come until the airborne landing ensures a
triumphant visit.
