Political analyst Levon Shirinyan said that Armenia should follow
closely the behavior of its strategic partner - Russia - with respect
to the Turkish-Israeli confrontation.
Though the Armenian-Russian strategic relations seemed to be ideal
previously, it was Russia, which saved Turkey from the collapse
in 20-s of the last century, Shirinyan told a press conference in
Yerevan. "It suggests that we should be careful," he said.
At the same time, the Armenian expert noted that not only the
Russian-Turkish approximation may become a problem for Armenia -
Azerbaijan may also oppose to Israel and Jewish capital and take
steps aimed at approximation with Russia.
"This does not mean that we are in a deadlock, to the contrary, the
role of the Armenian factor is increasing in this global strategic
game," Shirinyan noted.
The Armenian expert also believes that a progress may be recorded in
the Armenian Genocide recognition soon. According to him, the Jewish
lobby of the US may change its stance towards this issue and even
contribute to it, depending on the dynamics of the Turkish-Israeli
relations.
The Armenian expert noted that Armenia should try to establish ties
with the Jewish lobby in the US to start cooperating with it.
According to Shirinyan, Armenia should mobilize its resources,
specifically, the Armenian Council of National Security should increase
its role and conduct a thorough analytical research to reveal scenarios
of possible developments.
Shirinyan also emphasized the necessity of changing the attitude
towards the Diaspora. "There is need in resuming the activity of the
Armenian World Congress, which used to operate in New-York once,"
the expert said.
