    A NEW SUDDEN PROBLEM IN ARMENIA FOR RUSSIA

    Yerevan's complaints about Russia's attempts to take over Armenia
    fully are growing into "tacit resistance" and disgust, which is
    already expressed at the political level.

    Over the past few months a lot of Russian emissaries, officials and
    experts have met a tough welcome in different Armenian institutions.

    One can list several incidents that happened at the parliament which
    is a more public institution.

    The first victim of this "resistance" was Sergey Kurghinyan who said
    that Armenia does not need independence. Kurghinyan was publicly
    executed by the parliamentary, expert and media circles.

    Next was Dmitri Kiselyov who tried to declare Russia the second
    official language of Armenia. There were calls to declare Kiselyov
    persona non grata in Armenia, and the deputy speaker responded toughly.

    Everything began with Zori Balayan's letter. Afterwards, it was a
    shame to speak about a pro-Russian orientation, and the supporters of
    the Eurasian Integration even mentioned the threat of "ukrainization".

    Though almost all the political forces have supported the Eurasian
    line of the government, the moods in Armenia can hardly be called
    pro-Russian.

    Kiselyov was followed by Shvidkoy, then Andranik Mihranyan and
    Nikolay Rizhkov. They were all nervous in Yerevan and were saying that
    Armenia does not welcome Russian initiatives. Rizhkov even had to call
    Armenian counterparts and warned them - "don't isolate yourselves,
    it's not the right time".

    Apparently, the "tacit resistance" of Armenia is becoming an issue
    for Moscow. They understand here that it is maturing and is waiting
    to burst. Now they are sending emissaries to feel the pulse, try to
    figure out how low the Armenians can be bent and stand humiliation
    when they are already reaching the sacred things for Armenians.

    The Russian experts are complaining in the Azerbaijani press that the
    Armenian government refuses to make concessions about the BCP between
    Armenia and Karabakh. Armenia has also clearly expressed its opinion
    on the language, announcing that it is not going to declare Russian
    as a second state language.

    Russia, however, always has a plan B for such ultimate cases as
    "high-level" visits. The issues of extending the term of deployment of
    Russian forces in Armenia and issues of handing Armenia's security to
    Russia were resolved by the visit of Dmitri Medvedev. And on December
    2 Vladimir Putin came to Armenia to sign the notorious agreements.

    In this respect, it is interesting that Medvedev's visit planned in
    September of this year was cancelled.
