If official Yerevan refused to vote or abstained from voting on UN
resolution on Crimea, this would make Armenia more vulnerable in the
Karabakh issue, Deputy Director of the Caucasus Institute, Sergey
Minasyan, said at today's press-conference.
'In this case, Armenia did not have an alternative. Moreover, this is
one of the exclusive cases when practically all the opposition forces
supported the voting of the official Yerevan", - the expert said.
He also added that having fixed its position, Armenia may expect from
its strategic partner Russia positive results in the Karabakh issue.
But on the other hand,
Armenia has found itself among those 11 countries which voted against
the given resolution. "Armenia like Finland of the "cold war" times,
in some cases is forced to be very much careful so that not to damage
its own interests", - Minasyan concluded.
