RUSSIA EITHER FORCED OR MADE HUGE PROMISES TO ARMENIA - AMERICAN ANALYST
September 06, 2013 | 10:33
Moscow either forced Armenia to join the Customs Union, or Putin made
huge promises to Serzh Sargsyan; let's say, he pledged to recognize
the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh.
David Phillips, Director of the Program on Peace-building and Rights
at Columbia University's Institute for the Study of Human Rights in
the US, told the aforesaid to the Voice of America Armenian service.
Phillips stated that he was very much surprised by Armenian President
Serzh Sargsyan's announcement on Armenia joining the Customs Union.
As for several analysts' view that Turkey and Russia should assume a
main role in resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Phillips noted
that neither Turkey nor Russia is impartial in this matter.
David Phillips also believes that the Armenians and the Turks can
find new avenues for reconciliation, and the some existing business
relations and the cultural cooperation are positive and visible
processes in this direction.
