Yesterday the Armenians one more time gave credit to the Russian spirit. In the morning the law on opening foreign language schools was adopted, and later the parliament cancelled the law which did not allow opening schools in foreign languages. As a result, the Russian language can be the main language in schools and even can be equal to our state language. While the Armenian intelligentsia and the other sectors of the society were holding a demonstration against the foreign language schools, the Armenian prime minister was having a meeting with the Russian prime minister. Tigran Sargsyan was smiling and listening how his colleague was talking to him as he would do with a governor of his country. It is not excluded that the Armenian authorities might have arranged it to be the same day of the prime minister’s visit to Moscow. “We are expecting that due to your support and your president’s support our businessmen will feel comfortable in Armenia,” said the Russian prime minister according to the information of the government’s media department. Of course Tigran Sargsyan did not take the risk to tell his Russian colleague that Armenia is a sovereign state with equal market conditions and all the businesses notwithstanding their origin are in equal conditions and are protected according to the law. Certainly Putin knows that none of the mentioned conditions exist in Armenia. The problem is that the Armenian prime minister did not even try to oppose to his Russian colleague… When the society was complaining and claiming that the foreign language schools would undermine the country’s sovereignty and one of the most important attributes of the statehood, the government, including the prime minister, said that this was exaggerated. Now we have what we have. Tigran Sargsyan was the first high rank official who had the destiny to meet with the Russian authorities after the adoption of this law.
