Re: The Rise of the Russian Empire: Russo-Armenian Relations

I enjoyed reading that Sarkis. We need badly more writing like that because the sheeple only respond to what the media says so you gota put that stuff out there to and i applaud you for doing that. Would be nice if atleast one major media outlet was telling the truth but..

Thanks Haykakan and Hakob, but I don't deserve any applause. All credit and appreciation should be directed at the man who runs the blog "Heralding the Rise of Russia. I am being honest and dead serious when I say that Arevordi's blog is the most important source of information for us concerned Armenian Nationalists, especially those of us who were born and raised in the west and who primarily speak English, listen to English language electronic media, and reading English language printed media. The commentary is thoroughly-based in logic and reason, and addresses pretty much the entire spectrum of issues and enemies Armenia faces today. It is important to counter the psych-ops propaganda disguised as "journalism" which constitutes a monopoly of Diasporan and English language reporting about Armenia, and the Rise of Russia blog is an excellent resource of information and effective counter-arguments to the bullxxxx coming out of subversive and dengenerate agitprop organizations like the CIA-affiliated "Radio Liberty/Azatutyn", "Hetq", "Armenianow" and even ARF organs like Asbarez and Armenianweekly.

You two are doing an excellent job fighting the good fight and defending Armenia in the information war here, if you want to get the word out to even larger audiences consider commenting on asbarez and armenianweekly articles, there are a lot of "Armenia bad, Russia evil, Democracy is the only true religion" freaks which troll on those websites and publish anti-Russian, pro-xxxish, pro-turkish and pro-US/EU garbage there. Also if you are interested there is a pretty lively comments section at the bottom of the Rise of Russia blog. Arevordi published new articles about once a month, and the comments section usually gets something like 100-130 comments per article.

I'm glad you enjoyed reading the most recent blog commentary.

They will not make money by publishing stuff like this, will they? Better publish what payers tell. Who cares if population turns into angry and hatefull zombies. After all that is what sponsors want right? Then everything they want sheeple will do, any color any revolution. Revolution against state, church, Armenian families, armed forces, traditional culture.

PUTIN: RUSSIA TO EXPAND POWER INDUSTRY TIES WITH ASIA PACIFIC REGION

October 8, 2013 - 11:50 AMT

PanARMENIAN.Net - Russia plans to expand power industry interaction
with countries of the Asia Pacific region, President Vladimir Putin
has said, according to RIA Novosti.

"We export large quantities of natural gas to European countries. At
the same time, we see that energy resources are playing an ever more
important part in speeding up economic growth in the Asia Pacific
region," Putin told a two-day summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation (APEC) forum in Bali, Indonesia, Monday, October 8.

"We are aware of our responsibility in this sector and therefore plan
to expand our energy sector cooperation with our partners in Asia.

This concerns several different areas: fossil fuels, and advanced
technology too," the Russian leader said, according to a translation
of his speech posted on the Kremlin website.

"Abundant oil and gas resources are our natural competitive advantage,"
Putin said, adding that Russia has "already built a big oil pipeline
system running to the Pacific coast." He apparently referred to the
East Siberia - Pacific Ocean (ESPO) pipeline.

"This project set records in effectiveness and was built in record
quick time. It runs several thousand kilometers from Siberia to the
Pacific Ocean, with a branch line running to Daqing in China. This has
helped to develop a new global energy market for our brand of oil,"
the Russian president said.

"As for gas, we have big possibilities in this sector and are carrying
out a number of projects," he said, adding that Russia would "soon
take steps to develop the liquefied natural gas trade."

Poll Shows Half Of Russians Don't Oppose Chechen Split


Every other Russian citizen would not be opposed to Chechnya's secession from Russia, according to a new poll by the Levada Center, Russia's top independent polling agency.

The study, conducted across Russia and published on July 1, shows that 24 percent of respondents would be "glad" if Chechnya were no longer part of the Russian Federation.

In 2009, that figure was just 14 percent.

Another 27 of respondents expressed indifference, saying a Chechen breakaway would "not make a particular impression" on them.

That figure has risen steadily since 1998, when just 11 percent of respondents shared such a view.

Sociologist Lev Gudkov, from the Levada Center, says the results illustrate growing public disenchantment with President Vladimir Putin's policies in Chechnya.

Putin's rise to power coincided with the start of Russia's second war against Chechen separatists in 1999. The Kremlin has since installed the iron-fisted Ramzan Kadyrov, a former rebel and the son of slain Chechen President Akhmed Kadyrov, at the republic's helm.

"The tendency we see here is that since the situation escalated, during the second Chechen war, the number of people who believe it is possible to retain Chechnya as part of the Russian Federation has significantly dropped," Gudkov says. "If we combine the different answers, about half of the population is ready to let Chechnya break away from Russia. This points to the negative results of Putin's policies in the [North] Caucasus."

According the poll, Russian backing for military action in Chechnya is also on the wane.

While only 23 percent said in 2005 that a Chechen breakaway should be prevented "by any means, including military," only 10 percent of respondents chose this answer in the latest poll.

As many as 52 percent of respondents said the threat of terrorism from the North Caucasus has not diminished over the past decade, with 72 percent describing Chechnya as "tense" or "explosive."

The poll appears to have riled Kadyrov, who credits himself with bringing a measure of peace and stability to Chechnya.

"This poll does not reflect the real situation," Kadyrov's spokesman, Alvi Karimov, told RFE/RL. "Today, the Chechen republic is a stable, calm region. I absolutely don't believe the Levada Center's data, and I'm not sure at all that this study was prepared by people who are concerned about Russia's fate, stability, and future."

RUSSIAN AIR FORCE APPROVES FUTURE STRATEGIC BOMBER DESIGN

April 11, 2013 - 20:12 AMT

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Russian Air Force has approved the conceptual
design and specification of its future PAK-DA strategic bomber,
paving the way for development of components for the aircraft, Air
Force Commander Lt. Gen. Viktor Bondarev said Thursday, April 11,
according to RIA Novosti.

"The development of the aircraft is going as planned. The outline of
its design and characteristics has been approved and all relevant
documents have been signed allowing the industry to start the
development of systems for this plane," Bondarev said at a meeting
with Russian lawmakers.

The PAK-DA (meaning future long-range aircraft) project has been in
the works for several years but was given the formal go-ahead by the
Russian leadership last year. It is due to replace Russia's aging
fleet of 63 Tupolev Tu-95MS Bear and 13 Tu-160 Blackjack strategic
bombers in the next decade.

According to recent reports in the Russian media, citing defense
ministry sources, the Tupolev design bureau has won the PAK-DA
development tender with its concept for a subsonic aircraft with a
"flying wing" shape which provides superior "stealth capabilities."

The Defense Ministry insisted that the PAK-DA should be equipped with
advanced electronic warfare systems and armed with new nuclear-capable
long-range cruise missiles in addition to a variety of high-precision
conventional weapons.

The new bomber is expected to go in production by 2020 and will be
built at a new aircraft assembly line at Russia's Kazan plant (KAPO),
according to defense ministry officials. The same plant previously
built the Tu-95MS and Tu-160.

Putin Congratulated And Gave Nothing: What Will Martens Say?

Naira Hayrumyan
Comments - Wednesday, 13 March 2013, 13:49



Tomorrow, Serzh Sargsyan, who is already back from Moscow, will leave for Brussels to meet with the Chairman of European People’s Party Wilfred Martens. The visit was not announced, and it is not ruled out that it was decided after Serzh Sargsyan’s meeting with Vladimir Putin.

The fact that after the meetings, the presidents didn’t make any statement means that they hadn’t reached any agreement on the issues. The only concrete thing Serzh Sargsyan said was his gratitude for the “progress in military cooperation after our last meeting”. At the “last meeting” Serzh Sargsyan had called on Russia not to sell weapons to Azerbaijan. It is possible that Moscow decided not to sell weapons to Baku, moreover, Aliyev achieved the withdrawal of the Russian Gabala military base from Azerbaijan.

Though it is not ruled out that the point is about the growth of weapon supply to Armenia and the strengthening of military cooperation. Let’s say that during the visits of the Russian minister of defense Shoygu and CSTO Secretary General Bordyuzha to Armenia, a new military-technical agreement was mentioned. Besides, the Russian military base in Armenia has become more active which holds military exercises in mountains and in the air. But the apogee has been the statement by General Shamanov that the CSTO troops may be deployed in Armenia to overcome the “crisis”.

That is “progress” has really been recorded in the military cooperation, but only in military. Other spheres, most likely, are Brussels’ prerogative, and so Serzh Sargsyan is leaving there.

Serzh Sargsyan said in Moscow that he expects economic support from Russia. In the end, it is evident that the loans are over and it is time for a new fundraising. Perhaps, Sargsyan asked Putin the next allocation of the billion loan, but after refusal, he decided to leave for Brussels – “the West will help”.

Experts think that despite congratulations, the lack of concrete investments, agreements and Carrefour supermarket in Yerevan prove that world leaders are not sure whether Serzh Sargsyan will keep his office. It is possible that Sargsyan’s visits to Moscow and Brussels aim to get new guarantees. Putin congratulated but gave nothing. Let’s see what Martens will say.

Armenia-Russia relations

RUSSIAN, ARMENIAN PRESIDENTS EXCHANGE REMARKS AT START OF TALKS - KREMLIN TEXT

President of the Russian Federation website, Kremlin
March 12 2013

Meeting with President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan; 12 March 2013, 1700
[1300 gmt], Novo-Ogarevo, Moscow Region

The two leaders discussed bilateral cooperation issues.

Vladimir Putin congratulated Serzh Sargsyan on his victory in the
presidential election, which was held in Armenia on 18 February. The
working visit to Russia is the first foreign visit of the Armenian
president since the election.

[President of Russia Vladimir Putin] Mr Sargsyan, thank you very
much for your visit. This is your first foreign visit, your first
trip abroad since the presidential election in Armenia. I want to
congratulate you again on a convincing victory: you gained over 60
per cent of the vote, which is an excellent result. It shows the
Armenian people's confidence in you and gives you the opportunity
to meet all the objectives you set for yourself when you embarked on
the election campaign.

Russia has special relations with Armenia, and people in both countries
are aware of that. Overall, our relations are developing successfully,
despite the problems in the global economy. Last year trade between
our states grew by over 20 per cent. I am also very pleased to note
that Russia continues to steadily hold first place among Armenia's
trade and economic partners.

Russia is also in first place in terms of accumulated foreign
investment (over 3bn dollars) in Armenia, and this trend continues. We
have ambitious major long-term joint investment plans. I hope that
today we will have the opportunity to talk about the entire range
of issues.

Our political contacts are developing equally actively. We are
cooperating at all levels and in all areas: there are contacts
among our parliaments, our Governments, political parties and public
organizations. All this provides a very good basis for strengthening
our relations, especially interpersonal contacts and ties in the
humanitarian sphere.

A very important role is played in this area by the public associations
of the Armenian diaspora in the Russian Federation. There are many
Armenians living in Russia, as you know, and they are very respectable
and hard working citizens of our country. They continue to maintain
close contacts with their historical homeland. This is the additional
human capital that unites us.

I am very glad to see you. Welcome.

[President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan] Thank you, Mr Putin.

Thank you for the invitation and for your congratulations on my
election as president of Armenia.

It is absolutely natural that my first visit abroad is to Moscow, to
Russia. Russia is our strategic partner and ally, and that says it all.

Last year was a special year for us. We celebrated the 20th anniversary
of diplomatic relations between our states. During this period, we
have seen very positive development and achieved exceptional results
in all fields: in politics, the economy, defence, the humanitarian
sphere and integration. Therefore, we believe the potential we have
accumulated is good and now we must develop it further.

Mr President, I want to thank you especially for the progress in the
defence sphere since our last meeting. The Russian defence minister and
chief of the General Staff have visited Armenia. The Armenian public
very much appreciated the fact that the Russian defence minister came
to Armenia on Armenian Armed Forces Day.

I agree with you that there has been some solid progress in the
economy. Certain issues remain, but we hope for Russia's help and
support.

I am very happy to be here and thank you for your kind words. Once
again, Mr President, I confirm my invitation to you to come to Armenia
on a state visit. Thank you.

[Vladimir Putin] Thank you.
