ArmInfo. While the enemy is inspired by military successes and strives for more, the Armenian society is disorganized and disoriented, there are no strong leaders who can take responsibility for a difficult situation. Well-known military observer Yuri Kotenok wrote about this in his article in the newspaper "Golos Armenii".
In his opinion, the people (of Armenia) really need leaders who could unite the society, as far as possible, eliminate the existing split in it. "I am deeply concerned about what is happening in Armenia and around it. Society must mobilize, the success of the Armenians lies in their strength and unity. Remember, the enemy will stop at nothing, " Kotenok said.
In his opinion, the main task facing the Armenian side is to adequately respond to all threats that are of particular importance in the current realities. It is necessary to maximize the combat capability of the army, to strengthen military cooperation with Russia in every possible way.
"I think that Armenia should take radical measures in this direction, perhaps unprecedented in history, to establish and strengthen an alliance with Russia. The future of Armenia depends on this. Systematically, regardless of the will and whims of political personalities and forces in power, to develop a strategic partnership with Russia is the only guarantee of the existence of the Armenian state and the preservation of the independence of Armenians in the conditions of the growing aggravation both in Karabakh and in the region as a whole, "Kotenok stressed.
It should be reminded that during the Azerbaijani aggression in Nagorno-Karabakh on October 8 in the Karabakh city of Shushi, the Cathedral of Holy Christ the All-Savior Ghazanchetsots was twice shelled. As a result, three Russian citizens were injured, including the military observer Yuri Kotenok. He successfully underwent three operations in Armenia and is in the process of full recovery.
