YEREVAN. - Russia does its best to increase Armenia's dependence so that we plead for each grenade and each shell.  

The founder and commander of the first Reconnaissance Unit, Vova Vartanov., said the aforementioned at a press-conference Wednesday.

In his words, ''if we didn't look at Russians, we would now have an ''Araratian Republic round Yerevan'' on the Ararat plain. ''Every time we didn't listen to the Russian side, we recorded success, and now we must not consider their opinion either,'' Vartanov noted without presenting any arguments.
