With Azerbaijan's conduct becoming non-adequate, it is very likely
that the country may lose control sometime in the future, a senior
Armenian parliamentarian has said.
The head of the National Assembly's foreign affairs committee, Artak
Zakaryan, believes that the attempts to involve Turkey in the Syrian
crisis may become an encouraging factor for Azerbaijan.
"Turkey's active operations may cause Azerbaijan to involve itself
in a process of implementing hard-line policies in the region. Any
involvement will contribute to an increased tension," Zakaryan told
a news conference on Monday.
He stressed the importance of Armenia's attention in the process,
warning against any steps that could pose hazards to regional security
or undermine the maintenance of control.
"The role of Russia, as well as the European Union and the United
States in relation to Azerbaijan's non-constructive and unfavorable
steps is important in this matter," he said.
Zakaryan, who is a member of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia,
called upon Armenia to increase its diplomatic efforts and avoid the
Turkish-Azerbaijani propaganda in the international arena.
On the other hand, he said, Turkey may again provoke tension,
contributing to undesired developments in the Middle East.
Meantime, Zakaryan was concerned to note that Turkey's intervention in
Syria may increase the tension, contributing to undesired developments
in the Middle East. "The danger is that the geography of the current
developments may expand," Zakaryan explained.
Another external challenge, according to him, is the developments
around the Iranian nuclear program. But Zakaryan said he is hopeful
that it will be possible to maintain peace in the region.
He further referred to the Georgian parliamentary election, considering
the opposition's victory the only positive development that may lay
the foundations of democracy.
"It is very commendable to see democracy win in the neighboring
country, as it may be a cornerstone for maintaining stability,"
he said.
