Koryun Nahapetyan: Offensive statements by RA state officials receive negative response
The latest events on the Line of Contact between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan showed that even a slight imbalance can have grave consequences in the region, said Chairman of Standing Committee on Defense, National Security and Internal Affairs, Koryun Nahapetyan during the joint session of the Standing Committee on Defense, National Security and Internal Affairs of Armenia and the Committee on Defense and Security of the Security Council of Russia.
He spoke about the anti-Russian atmosphere in Armenia triggered by the “careless” statements of several Russian state officials.
“In the meantime, the short-sighted and careless statements of various senior state officials of Russia fairly received negative reaction among the Armenians. The offensive weapons sold to Azerbaijan are a serious threat for the security of CSTO member, Armenia, also for the entire CSTO.
If we don’t manage to correctly assess the threats today, tomorrow we’ll have unpredictable and irreversible consequences in the region, given Turkey’s indirect and direct pernicious involvement in the destabilization of the region,” Nahapetyan added.
