Former Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian reminded him of his Facebook page at the beginning of his Facebook page, where we were today.
"Until 2008, the 10 years of my ministry (1998-2008) were the time of Armenia's rise. No one can deny this. Karabakh has been actually independent, Armenia's borders, inaccessible, honeyly, have had reliable allies in the West and East, Armenia has played its place and role in regional and international politics. We have had a reliable allied relationship with Russia, we built a gas pipeline with Iran, we have deepened cooperation with Georgia, and we have implemented the Millennium Challenge Account. We had a dialogue with Turkey, with Azerbaijan, a dynamic negotiation process. We have become a member of the Council of Europe, we have deepened relations with the EU, we have implemented NATO military exercises in Armenia.
Armenia-Diaspora relations were on their hill, Kirk Kerkorian implemented $ 300 million projects, Cafesjian was built by Cascade, Eurnekian, the airport. The economy has had double-digit economic growth for 6 years, there have been huge external investments. Emigration dropped to zero, literally. In 2006, the balance between the departures and the arrival in Armenia was positive for the first time.
And today's government brought war on the head of a crowd, we have lost, heavy, thousands of victims, and we have lost Artsakh, Azerbaijan has been healed in Armenia, no reliable friend or ally, no country is serious about Armenia. Temporary economic activity was a short-term consequence of the Russian-Ukrainian war. We do not have any foreign investment and economic policy. This will inevitably bring economic collapse. We have the minimum relationship with the Diaspora. Inside, the society has never been so divided, there has been no such contempt for the authorities, "the diplomat said.
