YEREVAN. – Sooner or later, NATO will further enlarge toward the East, and the Republic of Armenia (RA) needs to realize this, political scientist Ruben Mehrabyan told reporters at a discussion on Tuesday.

“NATO is strengthening its infrastructure in the East, and this means that, with time, it will be ready to accept new countries,” added Mehrabyan. “The idea of European unification will end in the post-Soviet expanse.

“[But] Armenia does not want to understand this irreversible course of history which has no alternative. Armenia, on the contrary, has declared war on history, and it serves the interests of Russia (…). The RA authorities have turned into the agents of Russia, and they don’t understand that NATO’s doors are open.”
