PanARMENIAN.Net - An expert at the Institute of Political and Social
Studies of the Black Sea and Caspian Region, Andrey Areshev believes
that French President Nicolas Sarkozy's visit to the South Caucasus
has balanced the priorities of the west in the region.
`Till recently, cooperation with Baku was accented, for most part
being conditioned by the EU's energy projects with Azerbaijan and
Georgia. Now, it become obvious that Armenia is also important for the
West as a political dimension against the background of Turkey's
increasing role in the region,' Areshev said, adding that the West is
likely to continue with applying various political combinations
pursuing tactical and strategic objectives to secure reliable
communicative corridors through the Central Asia.
`However, the events in Syria and Libya, where the West stakes on
radical Islamic forces, can be fatal for the Christian population,
specifically the Armenian community. So, a question arouses: does Mr.
Sarkozy, who is appealing to the feelings of the Armenian Diaspora
think about the fate of dozens of thousands of Armenian (and other
Christians) in Middle East? Or was the fate of these people, who have
already fallen victims to the adventure policy of the United States
and France, discussed during the French President's visit to Armenia?'
