YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 18, ARMENPRESS: At the press conference held on
September 18 the Director of the Regional Studies Center (RSC) Richard
Kirakosyan stated that the military drills, held in Armenia by the
Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), prove the high level
of the cooperation between Armenia and Russia. According to him, the
CSTO military drills are quite important for both Armenia and Russia.
"For Armenia this is the way, with which we could address Azerbaijan,
that if Azerbaijan starts a war, it will lose. It reminds of the
fact that Armenia is the strongest country of the region", - said
Kirakosyan, as reported by Armenpress.
Concerning the raise of anti-American moods because of the movie
"Innocence of Muslims", the expert said that it witnessed about the
weakness and instability of the Armenia's neighboring countries.
"Armenia is the only stable country in the region. From this
point of view there is a strategic importance to maintain this
stability due to democracy development and economic reforms", -
said Kirakosyan. He added that for Armenia it was quite interesting
that in Baku anti-American protest actions were held, during which
20 people were arrested.
Speaking on the discussions around the recognition of the Nagorno
Karabakh independence after the Safarov's events, the Director of
the Regional Studies Center stated that he saw the future of Karabakh
as a part of Armenia. According to him, the recognition of Karabakh
by Armenia would impede the peaceful regulation process. The expert
considered the European Parliament's resolution to be neither a
big achievement nor a big loss. "That decision is unsatisfactory,
as it does not contain concrete sanctions against Azerbaijan", -
emphasized Kirakosyan.
