YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 18, ARMENPRESS: The recent controversy over Hungary’s transfer of a convicted killer and his subsequent pardon and hero’s welcome in Azerbaijan have really worked to reinforce the international image of Azerbaijan as a nation with a despotic leadership that promotes nonsensical violence. System of a Down group member famous musician Serj Tankian came forth with a statement, Armenpress reports.
''Their only true ally besides Turkey is oil'' Tankian notes.In the words of our compatriot, Armenia doesn’t have an ally in oil. Nor does it need such ecologically destructive, carbon-based allies. What Armenia needs is a carbon neutral, ecologically sustainable, agriculturally diverse future as its ally.
True progress and a solution to Armenia’s economic, environmental, and social challenges will be based on a coordinated effort to support environmentally sustainable agriculture.
This would allow the country to produce all necessary food items, both for domestic consumption and for export. This is strategically important given Armenia’s landlocked status and geopolitical isolation caused by hostile neighboring countries.
