On August 4, a regular session of the "Committee on Foreign Relations"
of the National Assembly to be set up by the Sardarapat initiative,
took place on the topic "Armenia under the light of recent regional
developments", expert David Petrosyan was the main speaker.
The speaker, evaluating the agreement signed on February 4, 1995,
between the republics of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh
at the initiative of the Special Commissioner of the Russian
president Vradimir Kazimirov to "prevent incidents in the territory
of Nagorno-Karabakh", proposed to remember and once again realize
it in order to reduce the number of incidents happening on the
Armenian-Azerbaijani contact line.
During the discussion, David Petrosyan attached importance to the fact
that Russia sells two C-300 zenith complexes to Azerbaijan underlining
that such a deal can cause change of correlation of forces in the
region, which is also proven by the fact that ambassadors in Azerbaijan
have been instructed not to give visas to 18-45-year-old men.
According to the speaker, the situation in the NKR issue is hard and
anxious which can become a reason to resume the hostilities. In this
sense, the influence of the U.S. on Azerbaijan becomes very important
as well as the figure of who implements that influence, that is the
U.S. ambassador to Azerbaijan: an issue that is currently discussed
in the U.S.
David Petrosyan grounded the opinion according to which, the change
of the status of the Russian military bases in Armenia cannot be
expedient for the Armenian party if Azerbaijan resorts to violence
against Nagorno-Karabakh.
The participants of the discussion once more underscored the reality
that in order to give an adequate response to any kind of attack
against Armenia, unification of Armenians, creation of just social
system is necessary.
