Weapons cannot be compared with sheep or oil
Vice-chairman of the Free Democrats Party, Anush Sedrakyan, condemns Russia for selling weapons to Azerbaijan and says it was a political rather than a commercial deal.
"It would have been a trade deal if they had sold oil, gas or sheep. But when they sell arms, it already conflicts with all our prior agreements, protocols and our good intentions. And now I want to challenge the good intentions of our big brother [Russia]," Anush Sedrakyan told reporters on June 26.
Republican MP Artak Davtyan, another participant of the discussion, said weaponry is also product which can be put for sale but the difference is that its sale is regulated by international treaties and international norms.
The discussants also referred to Armenia's membership to the European Union and Eurasian Union. Artak Davtayn believes that Armenia should be guided by common interests while Anush Sedrakyan says the policy might harm us.
"Russia slaps Armenia, at the same time sweetening other countries," she said.
