Political scientist Arthur Khachikian: "Armenia gave up its border with Iran, which saved it from death in the 1990s" Political scientist Arthur Khachikian referred to the transfer of the corridor through Magri to the control of an American company, which will receive 74% of the shares and operate according to an agreement with the United States, and not according to Armenian laws. According to him, this opens the way for Turkish and Azerbaijani contractors, and also puts Sionik under siege. Khachikian recalled that he had warned about this since 2020, but was persecuted by pro-government campaigners. - What exactly, according to your data, happened to the Magri Road corridor? - So, Armenia gave up a new part of its territory - the Meghari road corridor, where there will be a railway, a highway, an oil pipeline, a gas pipeline, electricity networks, etc. Decisions there will be made by an American company, which has 74% of its shares (controlling share), and is subject not to the laws of Armenia, but to the terms of the agreement with the United States (see the text of the agreement). There is no prohibition to transfer Corridor shares to a third party. The contract says that there will be additional contractors, and these will undoubtedly be Turkey and Azerbaijan. The owners of the project are the people of the Israeli lobby, that is, partners of Azerbaijan, which threatens to obtain the corridor by force if necessary. - You are talking about serious geopolitical consequences. What does it mean for Armenia? - Armenia gave up its border with Iran, which saved it from death in the 90s. Sionik was surrounded. And Mr. Gazarian is right - the names of all those who voted for the surrender of Magri are recorded in the protocol, and they will be recorded in the book of Armenian history. Unfortunately, there are other examples of betrayal, but not on such a large scale and not with such massive indifference to the zombie element. You mentioned that you have been warning about this since 2020. How did the authorities and their supporters react? "When my colleagues and I warned about this since 2020, corrupt propagandists-bloggers of this regime were unleashed on us, threatened and intimidated.
