Analyst: Having sent troops to Syria, Armenia committed an epic deed

ArmInfo.By sending a limited military contingent to Syria, Armenia committed a truly epic deed. A member of the committee, analyst Ashot Manucharyan,  expressed a similar opinion to ArmInfo,.

"I am convinced that we should help our friendly Syria as much as  possible. And do not forget that it was Hafez Asad, the father of the  current President Bashar Assad, who sent 6,000 tons of bread to  Armenia through Turkey in the early 1990s. a time when there was no  bread at all in Armenia. I'm not even talking about the support the  Syrians extended to our people during the years of the genocide  committed by the Turks, "he noted.

Nevertheless, according to Manucharyan, the epic character of the  Armenian leadership's actions is not due to the support of Syria, but  to the support provided to Russia. That of Russia itself, which for  the last 30 years has been searching in vain for allies in the world  and in the post-Soviet space, in particular. By his act, Yerevan,  according to the analyst, committed the act of a true ally. "Russia  has no other such ally.  There is the CSTO, but there are no allies,"  he stressed.

However, in response to all this, according to Manucharyan, the  Russian leaders launched an orgy around the information extracted  from the archives for November last year, which were opposed to  Russia by opponents of Russia. This was done for the sole purpose of  immediately destroying the idea among the Russian people that it  could have allies, with the parallel suggestion that the Russian  people could only have enemies.

On February 12 of 2019 RussiaToday published the information on the  CampCamp seminar held on November 3 of 2018 in Yerevan. On the same  day RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan stated on the First Russian  TV Channel that the seminar organized by the Prague Civil Society  Center was funded by the US Congress according to the "Law on  Fighting Russia's Supporters." The US Congress finances, including in  Armenia, managed from the outside to fight with  supporters of Russia ", - said Simonyan. After that, another campaign  against Armenia was launched in the Russian media.
