    TERRITORIAL TENSIONS ARE AGAINST ARMENIA'S INTERESTS

    "Tension in our territory has risen and that is not favorable for
    Armenia, unfortunately", said the director of "Modus Vivendi" center
    Ara Papyan.

    First of all, he noted that anti-Armenian tendencies have apparently
    increased in Turkey. Violence against Armenian women are an obvious
    evidence for that.

    Papyan noted that anti-Armenian mood will get stronger by 2015,
    which will make a bunch of problems for us. Hence, he does not see
    any reform in Armenian-tuskish Interstate and International Relations.

    Ara Papyan turned to Iran saying that in 2014 there will be
    presidential elections in Iran. If there were inter political
    disobedience during the Parliamentary elections in that country
    then the same is likely to happen during the presidential elections
    as well. Ara Papyan noted that American pressure on Iran decreases,
    which is good for us, but we also have to take the fact that tension
    will increase their also into consideration.

    Our next neighbor is Georgia, where dual power is ruling, making the
    situation unstable and, as he noted, it is not possible to predict
    what development will occur.

    Developments in Azerbaijan are the most important for us. There are
    serious developments there also, especially in Ismayil, where national
    outbreak took place. Ara Paypan noted that this territory is mainly
    populated by lezgis and social-economic development are national here.

    On one hand this is good for us as authorities of Azerbaijan will be
    busy handling their own problems, but on the other hand, it can be
    dangerous as countries like Azerbaijan try to solve their national
    problems by creating small, bloodless wars, which can have unwanted
    and bloody result not only for us but for Azerbaijan as well.

    However, according to Ara Papyan, there is one factor in
    Armenian-Azerbaijani relations, which increases tension between both
    countries, and that is Stepanakert airport. This issue is in stalemate
    situation. Each side became responsible for the announcements they
    have made and each is denying its announcement stating that it will
    be disgraceful not just for their nation but for the International
    relations.

    Ara Papyan turned to the incident that had taken place with
    presidential candidate Paruyr Hayrikyan and noted that it increases
    tensions in inter political developments. He considers Hayrikyan's
    announcement that the attempted murder could be from russian special
    services unacceptable and noted that the shooter must be searched
    for in Armenia.
