/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Today South Caucasus is a region of instability
and competition between superpowers, as a result of which Armenia
experiences considerable difficulties, said Ara Abramian the head of
CAR (Council of Armenians of Russia) during an interview to The Novoye
Russkoe Slovo. In his words, Russian sanctions against Georgia have
serious impact on Armenia's economic situation, particularly on freight
flow, which goes through Georgia from Russia and other countries. "Or
the tension which occurred between the West and Iran. Not only it
leads to additional tension of situation in the region, but also it
threatens Armenia with hold-ups of Iranian gas supply.
Unfortunately, there are no serious moves on the Nagorno Karabakh
talks. Azerbaijan activates its efforts to create a negative image
of Armenia and weaken Armenia's international position. Such a
policy pursues an only goal-that is to create a necessary propaganda
background for probable forceful solution of the conflict," Abramian
noticed.
Alongside, he thinks that a considerable standstill is being noticed
in Armenian foreign policy during the past years. "It lacks of offence,
activity, pre-emptive foreign-policy moves. The foreign-policy guiding
lines should be formulated more vivid for the world community to
have clearer notion of what Armenia expects from Moscow, Brussels
and Washington," stressed the President of CAR.
