President of ”Armenian Companionship” of Saint Petersburg, Vahan Babakhanyan is displeased with the foreign politics of RA. ” We should have our preaching, we should spread that there was genocide in Baku and Sumgait by the Azerbaijanis. It was not only in 1988 in Baku and Sumgait but also in 1918 and in 1920. It should be said”, Mr. Babakhanyan expressed such an opinion while talking to Aravot.am.. According to him, there was a genocide carried out by the Azerbaijanis and the same policy continues but ”We do not use the word genocide, we use conflict, what kind of conflict it is; conflict means symmetry. We are silent with Mr. Nalbandian, and in the Russian Federation ‘not ours, not yours’ principle acts, the weapon will be given to this, then to that, and cat and mouse play is going on for 25 years. There is no conflict, we, the Armenians, have solved our problems, we do not have conflict. There is a conflict in Azerbaijan because they are aggressors; they shoot every day, every hour.
There is 145 million people in RF, but they have no idea that the Azerbaijanis’ crops are falling every hour, every day, because our preaching does not inform the Russians, we are weak, we do not open our mouths”. In words of Mr. Babakhanyan, it is a lie that the embassy or the Ministry of Diaspora is working well. ”It is a lie, we do not exist, we are not subjects. The RF must not only sell weapons to Azerbaijan, but also it must say to the other countries of the UN that no country must give weapons to them because they are committing genocide, it is the same if they give weapons to Hitler. But our politics is not condemning either: Minister of Foreign Affairs, Edward Nalbandian announces ” We are not delighted that Russia sells weapons to Azerbaijan. What it means. If I meet with him I will say to his face, what kind of announcement it is, where our politics is. If his son were on the front, would he have said we are not delighted or would he have used such an expression. Let him stand on the border, and then he may say ‘we are not delighted”’.
