Politologist Ruben Mehrabyan says it doesn't matter how Serzh
Sargsyan's response to Dmitry Medvedev's message on the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict reached Moscow.
Azerbaijan had sent its response to Dmitry Medvedev through
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammedyarov.
"In some cases, this may be symbolic. But I don't see grounds for that
at this moment," Mr. Mehrabyan told "A1+" today.
Mehrabyan says it is natural that the content of Serzh Sargsyan's
response wasn't released. "Based on the logic of the negotiations, no
release of the final decision shouldn't come as a surprise."
The politologist doesn't rule out that the Armenian authorities
surprised the people in terms of the NK conflict. "I think we
shouldn't expect that in the short run."
The politologist is almost certain that the accelerated pace in the
negotiations over the NK conflict will continue, but he doesn't think
the Co-Chairs will be able to come to terms. "That is why the
status-quo remains unchanged."
According to Mehrabyan, Russia will still maintain its positions in
the negotiations. "Russia won't allow a change of the status-quo that
will weaken its positions in the region." Mehrabyan finds that the
reinforcement of Russia's positions in our region is not in Armenia's
interests.
"Keeping the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution in the circle of
Russia's interests is not in Armenia's interests. Armenia has its
interests. There are no eternal friends and enemies."
For this moment, the politologist says there is no alternative to
Euro-integration for Armenia. "That is significant in terms of
civilization."
Ruben Mehrabyan also doesn't agree that the Armenian authorities are
able to defend Armenia's interests during the negotiations. "I
wouldn't like to touch upon their desires, but there are very big
flaws in terms of their capabilities and that is due to a number of
inter-political factors."
