Political scientist Stepan Grigoryan said today that Russia has recently forgiven Cuba a debt amounting to USD 30bln when years ago it did not forgive Armenia’s debt to the tune of USD 100mln and took several enterprises in return.

The political scientist stated that considering this fact he has concluded “Russia loves Cuba 300 times more than it loves Armenia”.

According to him, Armenia should draw lessons of realism from Russia.

“Armenia should make an official statement declaring that since nobody is waiting for us in the Eurasian Economic Union, we are restoring our relations with the EU within the Association Agreement”, noted Stepan Grigoryan.

Answering the question as to whether Europe will take such a decision seriously, he stated that despite the disappointment Europe has to Armenia there will by all means be states supporting Armenia to restore the faith of the rest of states to us.

“Until September 3, 2013 Russia was committed to persuading Armenia not to sign the Association Agreement promising large amounts to the tune of USD 12-15bln in case of taking the way to the Customs Union. Apparently, Russia cheated us. The Armenian President’s latest speech in which he voiced concerns regarding Russia’s supply of weapons to Azerbaijan proves it”, said the political scientist adding that the authorities do not work properly with Russia.
