As Alek Yenigomshyan told a news conference in Yerevan, the oncoming Armenia’s independence 20th anniversary is a suitable occasion to assess the country’s achievements. “20 years ago, we acquired the attributes of a state, yet never managed to form statehood,” Yenigomshyan said. He characterized liberty, democracy and legitimacy as key attributes of the statehood, which Armenia lacks. “Armenia is politically dependent on Russia, U.S. as well as international structures,” he noted. Among the country’s significant achievements, Yenigomshyan pointed out Armenia’s becoming a subject of the international law, winning the Nagorno Karabakh war and forming an army.
