“Persona non grata, let him take his belongings and leave our country,” so expressed his opinion the Chairman of HCA Vanadzor office Artur Sakunts in the Freedom Square, attending today’s failed rally against the Customs Union, referring to the statement of the RF Ambassador to Armenia. Recall that RF Ambassador to Armenia had said, “The Russian side will wreck any aggressive intervention to internal affairs of its friendly countries that would be made under the pretext of introducing alien ideas to our minds and hearts”. Artur Sakunts insisted that people in Russia should understand the following, “If the Ambassador thinks that Edik Nalbandyan and Serzh Sargsyan cannot counter each other, then let him understand that there are citizens who reverse. Russian Federation is a Nazi system and the Ambassador as a representative of the Nazi system, moreover, has nothing to do here.” To the question of Aravot.am what such statements voiced by Russia are caused by, Mr. Sakunts responded, “The RA authorities did not respond to this statement in any way. Armenia, basically, is governed not from Baghramyan 26, or the government, but from the Ambassador of the Russian Federation. The Ambassador’s statement was an indication to the authorities of Armenia on what to do with the activists, and political movements that would try to destabilize the situation. The Armenian elite does not reflect the interests of the RA citizen, otherwise they would accept the new appointments with exclamations. The matter that the political elite pursue the goal to surrender Armenia to Putin’s dominance and the Kremlin is also a fact.”
