Armenia has a lot to achieve to become an equal ally for Russia, political expert said.
Dwelling on March 12 meeting between Armenian and Russian presidents, Levon Shirinyan stressed the need for Russian recognition of Artsakh independence to be put on the agenda.
“Vladimir Putin hurried to congratulate Serzh Sargsyan to avoid recognizing Nagorno Karabakh,” Mr Shirinyan said, slamming Russia’s presence in Armenia without recognition of NKR.
The expert further commented on the possible increase of Russian gas prices.
“Moscow will boost the gas tariffs due to the increase of gas extraction prices, giving Russia yet another chance to practice blackmail,” he said.
