'RULING REGIME IN YEREVAN SIMPLY STEALS YOUNG GENERATION'S FUTURE BY RUINING COUNTRY TODAY'

The ruling regime in Yerevan simply steals the future of young
generation, almost ruining the country today, Azerbaijani Presidential
Administration Political Analysis and Information Provision Department
head Elnur Aslanov believes.
"If to analyze the current situation in the South Caucasus, the
first evident fact is that the political system of the society cannot
function properly without the appropriate economic support for the
political process," Aslanov said in an interview with Trend.
As was expected, after the May 6 elections in Armenia this year, the
main issues of public concern remained on the agenda, and existing
uncertainty in Armenia's vision of the future only intensified,
he said.
According to Aslanov, one can easily see that Yerevan with its
action program, or rather in absence of that, is unable to resolve
the challenges facing the state. "The country's population of course,
wishes to support political power, which ensures economic stability and
improvement of prosperity, optimal environment for entrepreneurship,
as well as social security of citizens. It is a norm in the development
and implementation of economic policy of any other state. However,
we are witnessing a unique trend, when the Armenian government,
contrary to all canons of logic, chooses the biggest of two evils so
that to stay in power," Aslanov said.
He expressed hope that Armenia's political regime is fully aware that
the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict resulted from an attempt to annex
the territory of Azerbaijan, poses a great threat to the regional
security, and hinders overall economic development of South Caucasus.
"With its attempts to delay the negotiation process Yerevan pursues
a policy of retaining the status quo. Thus, it is clear that progress
within the OSCE Minsk leaves much to be desired," he added.
Aslanov said Azerbaijan has repeatedly offered to begin work on a peace
treaty, whilst Yerevan is even unwilling to hear about such document,
pleading the lack of agreements on many points. This destructive
position of Yerevan not only dramatically complicates any positive
prospect of the regional development, but also nullifies internal
resources of the current Armenian society, Aslanov said.
"According to Armenian experts' calculations, correlation between
gross external debt of and nominal GDP in Armenia is 72 percent. The
situation will obviously become more critical due to uncertain ability
of Armenian economy to pay off debts in time," Aslanov said.
