Which are the reasons of the wave of revolutions in the Arab world
and what geopolitical developments can follow?
According to the Rector of the Yerevan State Linguistic University,
political scientist Suren Zolyan, there are at least three main
reasons for the developments in the Arab world. The first is the
idea of formation of a Large Middle East suggested by the American
analysts. The second reason is the existence of grave social problems
in the countries of South Africa, which could not be solved because
of the lack of political and civil systems. The third reason is the
general colonial heritage of those countries.
As for the possible repercussions of these developments for the South
Caucasus, Zolyan considers that Azerbaijan is under threat. "Both
Georgia and Armenia are more traditional and stable as regards their
culture than the newly crated countries of the Middle East. Instead,
the political scientist advises not to underestimate the importance
of social problems.
Despite outer interference and the impact of other factors, the
revolutionary wave would be impossible without social problems.
