YEREVAN. - There is nothing terrible in the fact that Russian troops take part in the parade dedicated to the 20th Anniversary of Armenia’s Independence, said the leader of the Union for Self-Determination Paruyr Hayrikyan.

“I am not against good relations, I would be glad if on that day Georgian and American troops pass in front of the president of Armenia and Armenian flag in the Republic Square”, Hayrikyan said. “The fact that the Russian military will take part in the parade and pay honor to the Armenian government is not bad at all. I hope someday Turkish and Azerbaijani troops will pass through our square.”
