SCANDAL IN MOSCOW INVOLVING ARMENIAN GENERAL

The Russian web site Grani.ru published information with this headline. The web site informs that a scandal occurred during the meeting of the chiefs of army headquarters of the countries of the Collective Security Pact Organization on November 2 in Moscow involving the Colonel-General Michael Harutiunyan, the chief of the headquarters of the armed forces of Armenia, who accused Tajikistan, which is a member of the Collective Security Pact Organization but “is setting up military alliance with a country which is a potential foe of its ally under the Collective Security Pact.” He meant the agreement on military cooperation signed by Azerbaijan and Tajikistan.
One of the participants of the meeting said that Harutiunyan addressed not only Dushanbey but also Moscow. “It is known to everyone that Azerbaijan is Armenia’s potential foe, however, certain members of the Collective Security Pact Organization allow for military cooperation with Azerbaijan,” stated Michael Harutiunyan. The point is that besides Tajikistan Russia has also set up military cooperation with Azerbaijan, and according to Grani.ru, Harutiunyan made it clear that Armenia disapproves this.
