Amid the EPP Summit and the European firework the leader of the PAP
Gagik Tsarukyan was reported to leave for Brussels. No details of the
program of his visit are known but the fact that apart from Moscow and
Dubai Tsarukyan visits also Brussels is evidence that he is ready for
diversification. Moreover, Tsarukyan was said to visit the United
States as well, and the Armenian National Congress is using its
connections to organize his meetings with some influential figures.
The PAP is a perceived pro-Russian force, a Russian policy provider in
Armenia. The PAP promotes Russian geopolitical projects in Armenia.
The PAP has not expressed a clear position on foreign affairs, as well
as the Karabakh issue. In this context, the Armenian government, the
RPA has activated its relations with the Western political and
military organizations, at least on the level of declarations though
some practical steps are already noticed. This is a reason to assume
that Russia may foil the attempt of diversification of foreign
relations by means of the PAP which possesses considerable resources.
Besides, Moscow's approval is perceived by many to be the safeguard of
forming government, and the PAP promotes this mindset. It is good that
Gagik Tsarukyan has decided to change the coolness of Moscow and the
heat of Dubai and see what else is there in the world. Moscow and
Dubai do not help one make up their mind on politics. It will be
useful to both his party and Armenia. Gagik Tsarukyan's
diversification will prevent the PAP and its satellites from becoming
instruments of the Russian politics about which they have been warned
by a number of politicians and experts. For its part, it will allow
staging the issue of forming government of Armenia inside Armenia
alone and rule out foreign intervention which has usually led to
bloodsheds over the past decade. It is possible, of course, that
Tsarukyan's diversification is not his decision alone and has far
reaching aspirations and goals. At least, the developments inside the
PAP and around it allow for such conclusions. It might also be done to
spite the RPA. Obviously, Gagik Tsarukyan is consistently cleared
until international recognition. If the result of this process will be
prevention of foreign intervention, it will be the only achievement of
the Armenian political system over the past 20 years. The system has
not been able to do more, namely build an efficient, competitive,
constitutional, independent state where everyone is in their real
place.
