force provocation against the armenian independence for armenia so right into all of armenia and nod and dairies investigation that started it and i think that who is guilty for that incident should be punished. well then the prime minister question and called it a provocation and what do you think he meant by that. yeah well it's it's also important to mention that he also said this was a provocation against russian media relations it's the russian i mean relationship and i think the reason why he pointed that out is because he's going to be reluctant to actually point the finger of blame. at the kremlin directly because russia and armenia have had a long history of working relationship here russia provides economic is an economic lifeline to armenia and most military bases have been here for some time russia acts as a kind of security guarantor for armenia. because of its war that armenia had with azerbaijan over nicole no care about. which is the territory students and i see recognize as belonging to azerbaijan that conflict could always potentially reignites an army as a difficul

everybody is nice everybody they all love each other all the sudden this you know when you go to armenia people don't they don't live very well you know that they're suffering with someone doesn't have food it's you know or something or super rich right now everybody's nice everyone's happy why not i want to wish every single trip but what's the next step i mean bush administration ians promises and his plans actually bring me out of poverty us of today. he's we had ok i'm going to start just comparing one thing about georgia when you mentioned my down so georgia you had saakashvili who came to a power very harsh and he definitely wiped out all the mobs and corruption and he did it overnight when i say overnight it took him probably less than a month georgia was one of the most corrupt countries i've been there i drove through you couldn't drive through if you want to go from armenia to russia you got to go through georgia probably you get stop i don't know fifteen times maybe even you know you end up giving your shoes to that was horrible right now completely different country beautiful

and i think the reason he said that is because he acknowledges how important the russians are for armenia they act as a security guard and so here against the potential for turkey sure as every aggression against the media for that reason i don't think it's the question wants to point the finger of blame directly at the kremlin nevertheless there are concerns here tensions between the public and the russian military presence here but nevertheless a little pressure yeah and is aware of the fact that russia is very much it's a state provides equal to its economic lifeline to armenia and of course that military presence but he's also here now recently of winning the belt it revolution where he came to power up the mass street protests calling for big changes you know he wants to push through big reforms to turn this country into a liberal democracy and it's. they call the oligarchic elites here who have connections with the with the russian state with the with the russian elite so mr president plans for armenia although he needs russia at the same time and not entirely compatible with the cu
