‘If Russian peacekeepers were not here, we would be eaten raw’ - Vazgen Manukyan

“Reconstructing the army is a top priority,” said Vazgen Manukyan, the candidate for Prime Minister from the Homeland Salvation Movement, during an interview today. “Consider that if the Russian peacekeepers were not here, we would be eaten raw. Azerbaijan and Turkey won the war; generally, the victor tends to be more generous, while the loser seeks revenge. Meanwhile, Azerbaijan declares that they ought to take Syunik and Yerevan, and we speak of building friendship with Azerbaijan and Turkey. There are also one or two oligarchs who couldn’t care less about Armenia… Let them open the road with Turkey, bring in gasoline, and get rich,” Manukyan emphasized.
