International affairs expert, Deputy Director of the Caucasus
Institute Sergey Minasyan considers Russian President Dmitri
Medvedev's upcoming official visit to Armenia very important for
Armenia for different reasons.
"The first is the military-political block. I think the sides will
sign important documents and of course, there will be talks on the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict," said Minasyan.
Minasyan doesn't believe that there will be a turning point in the
Nagorno-Karabakh peace process, but it is clear that Russia will show
that it is the number one role-player in the conflict settlement.
The talks on economic cooperation, particularly the energy sphere,
will also be of importance for Armenia.
"In the long run, the most important issue for Armenia's political and
economic development is that of the nuclear power station in addition
to the Armenia-Iran railway, energetic projects and Armenia's military
security.
Minasyan finds that though Armenia is a country that is rich with
water resources, life has shown that it is impossible to maintain an
economy without an nuclear power station.
"The presence of a nuclear power station will allow Armenia to export
energy to neighboring countries. In that sense, the nuclear power
station is of great significance and under these conditions, it would
be hard to find any other country besides Russia to take on the
implementation of the financial and technical project because it has
an absolute monopoly of building an nuclear power station in our
region," he said.
