ARA ABRAHAMIAN: INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY DOES VERY LITTLE TO MAKE
TURKEY KEEP ELEMENTARY RULES OF HUMAN CO-EXISTENCE
YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 7, NOYAN TAPAN. There are many interethnic and
intercivilization problems in the South Caucasus and in Near East,
which are played up in the implication of creation of a new world order
and are reflected in the policy of the leading countries. It is not a
mere accident that the foreign political subjects touched upon in the
U.S. presidential election campaign mainly relate to Iraq and the
Israeli-Palestine conflict, as well as settlement of relations between
the United States and Iran. This was mentioned in the text of speech of
Ara Abrahamian, the Chairman of the World Armenian Congress, made at
the international conference on the subject "The countries of the
Caucasus and Near East as possible partners in the process of formation
of a regional security system."
According to him, the power actions of the United States and NATO cause
anti-American moods in Near East and serve the goals of those, who try
to present that conflict as a war between Islamic and Western
civilizations.
He said in his speech that Russia should carry out more active policy
in the region in order to jointly with China, India, and a number of
European countries contribute to reconsideration of the not well
thought-out policy of the U.S. in the region.
Touching upon the issue of interethnic conflicts in the South Caucasus,
A. Abrahamian mentioned that in spite of the international community's
active participation, the Nagorno Karabakh, Georgian-Abkhazian,
Georgian-Ossetian conflicts are still far from mutually acceptable
solutions. According to him, statements on the necessity of power
settlement of the conflicts are often voiced in some capitals of the
region, the regional countries are involved in arms race. Though
Washington and Moscow try to cooperate over settlement of the problems
of the South Caucasus, that cooperation is not intensive enough and has
not yielded tangible results so far. At the same time it was mentioned
that NATO's entering the South Caucasus may change the balance existing
in the region and damage Russia's interests, which may make the region
a conflict zone and aggravate relations between Russia and the United
States.
The speaker also mentioned existence of many problems between Armenia
and Turkey. According to A. Abrahamian, Turkey, which has committed the
Armenian Genocide, continues keeping Armenia in a blockade, puts
forward preconditions to Armenia for establishment of diplomatic
relations and raising the blockade. In his words, the UN Security
Council, the European Union, the United States, Russia, and the whole
international community do very little to make Turkey, which is
striving for joining EU at any price, keep the elementary rules of
human co-existence and international relations.
