 Envoy: Viewing MP Zhirinovsky's remarks as Moscow’s stand unserious August 4, 2016 - 12:32 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Ambassador to Russia Oleg Yesayan commented on LDPR leader, Russian lawmaker Vladimir Zhirinovsky's recent remarks on Armenia, local media report. Earlier, Zhirinovsky stated during a TV show on Life Channel, “Yerevan will never sever ties with Russia. That would be the end of Armenia. Anyways, what do we care about Armenia?” As Yesayan noted in this context, “Political absurdity has always been typical of Mr Zhirinovsky, his unserious comments on various issues proving the fact. In this regard, it would be equally unserious to take his remarks about Armenia seriously or to present them as Russia's official stand.” “Zhirinovsky’s regular bizarre comments became a part of his political survival, the MP mainly aiming to draw attention to his own persona. This becomes even more obvious in the run-up to the parliamentary elections in Russia," Yesayan said. "We have already expressed our view on the eccentric MP’s cynical remarks to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which provided us relevant clarifications," the envoy noted.
