GEOPOLITICAL ROLE FOR ROMANIA
Currently the geopolitical picture of Central Eastern Europe is not
fully drawn. Even membership of most countries of the region to NATO
has not resulted in full understanding of the role and importance of
these states in the geopolitical perspectives of Europe and Eurasia.
At the same time, as it was presumed earlier, these states,
particularly Poland and Romania, are going to play a more important
role in the arrangement of forces in the space spanning from the
Baltic to the Black Sea.
Romania is trying to conduct a moderate policy taking into
consideration the problems with neighbor states. Currently, Romania has
managed to overcome a number of economic problems unlike other states
of the region, prevented collapse, is rebuilding its armed forces.
Unfortunately, the United States and their partners in NATO are
reviewing for the second time their intentions regarding the Black Sea,
which is determined not only by the negative position of Turkey and
Russia but also significant economic problems. Had the United States
and NATO activated their presence in the Black Sea basin, the role
of Romania would grow significantly, including in the region of the
Black Sea.
Apparently, Romania is going to play an important role in stability
and balance of forces in this region. Not only presence of NATO will
be increased but also geo-economic and communication objectives will
be developed.
In the course of time the role of the Black Sea for external
communication of Armenia will grow but there are no drastic decisions
yet. First of all, the Armenian Black Sea-Danube Navigation Company
should be established which would ensure independence and security
of external communication of Armenia.
Romania could play a major role in achieving this goal and thereby
acquire a growing importance in communication projects. There are
a number of technical and economic solutions to implement this and
other communication projects that Armenia needs.
Considering the expected development of NATO and the European
Union in the economy and security of Armenia, the Armenian-Romanian
cooperation could lead to significant change in the possibility of
real integration of Armenia with the Euro-Atlantic community. The
Black Sea is waiting for new decisions, and its geopolitical role is
far from being established.
In Romania there is a small but significant Armenian community which
could play a consultative role in the implementation of these projects
and preservation of dozens of historico-cultural monuments relating
to existence of Armenians in this country. In this regard, it would
be interesting and possible to develop relations among Armenian
communities located in different countries with an outlet to the
Black Sea, as well as the Republic of Moldova.
