YEREVAN. – Member of Yerevan city council Davit Sanasaryan commended the statement by Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan that Armenia should rely on itself while defending its borders.

Sanasaryan, member of opposition “Barev, Yerevan” bloc, is confident that Armenia must rely on its forces, not those of Russia or the West.

“I do not like when they say the future of our land is in the hands of others. Yesterday I read Seyran Ohanyan's statement indicating that Armenia is capable of ensuring its own security without external forces. I really liked it and do support such an approach,” Sanasaryan told reporters.

He noted that for many years Armenia has been negotiating the Madrid Principles that are unacceptable for the Armenian people: return of seven regions around former Nagorno-Karabakh autonomous region and deployment of peacekeepers.

“Nevertheless, we are being imposed these principles. Not external forces, but Armenian authorities are to blame, as they are unable to influence anyone,” he emphasized.
