The "Fact" daily writes:
The United States Agency for International Development, which has been terminated in February, has been involved in anti-Russian propaganda in Armenia for years.
Political scientist Arthur Khachikyan has such an opinion.
"I continue to investigate the numbers, to understand how much money was spent in Armenia. Of course, we knew that they came from abroad to wash our people's intelligence, teach us to hand over Artsakh, to make mistakes on Russia, to love Turks. In fact, this was a secret army that was fighting against us in Armenia.
But we did not imagine that the volume was so big, we knew, of course, that there are grant-eyed, but that we didn't know so much. Several sources I have seen that number is $ 247 million, and in 6 months there have been so much money in Armenia to support media, bloggers and non-governmental organizations, "political scientist Arthur Khachikyan told Alpha News.
According to him, some media outlets, bloggers, NGOs have formed a public opinion from USAID, in the United States, France, the United Kingdom, and the political propaganda has been considered an external influence agent.
"Because of this secret army that we have entered Armenia, we have hatred against the people of Artsakh. Turkey, our friend. In other words, the country, which organized the murder of 5,000 Armenians, armed Azerbaijan, and did not say anything about them, and all the arrows directly directed to Russia, the people of Artsakh and former. This was the country's conquest in information. I ideologically, they occupied Armenia with tens of millions of dollars, "Artur Khachikyan said.
Although USAID activities have now been stopped, the organization no longer finances Armenia, the political scientist believes that the US regime will try to use soft force not only in Armenia but also in the world.
"I don't know whether it will be in the same volume, because Trump does not want to spend the money of American taxpayers for such propaganda, but they can continue that policy in some way. I do not rule out that they will find money from private sources.
In general, this is a disgrace. Speaking of the sovereignty of the countries, they make those countries, in fact, we have become KALONIA, because they lead our country from abroad, because they are headed by the consciousness of our people, "Arthur Khachikyan said.
