    ARMENIA'S UN VOTING ON CRIMEA DOES NOT THREATEN COUNTRY WITH SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES - POLITICAL SCIENTIST

    YEREVAN. - Armenia's position at the UN voting on the Ukrainian
    resolution merely showed that external pressures were exerted on
    the country.

    Regional Studies Center Director, political analyst Richard Giragosian
    stated the aforementioned on Tuesday.

    He noted that even though Armenia has strong positions on foreign
    policy just like before, the country is facing a difficult situation.

    As per the analyst, Armenia's stance at the UN does not threaten the
    country with serious consequences, since the main pressure of the
    international community is aimed at Russia.

    "Although Armenia has left itself a narrower field to maneuver, thanks
    to the mistakes by Turkey and Azerbaijan, the country has succeeded in
    maintaining its strong positions in foreign policy," Giragosian noted.

    Caucasus Institute Director, political scientist Alexander Iskandaryan
    agreed with Richard Giragosian, and added that Armenia's position at
    the UN voting will not result in any consequences.

    "Armenia itself decided how to vote [and] in consideration of the
    degree of influence of external forces and the existing realities. The
    Russian party's influence on this matter was solely one of the reasons
    for the Armenian party's exhibiting such a position," Iskandaryan
    specifically stated.

    Armenia was among the eleven countries that voted against the UN
    General Assembly resolution which declares invalid Crimea's recent
    referendum calling for joining Russia. In addition, 58 countries
    abstained from voting on this resolution, whereas 100 countries
    voted in its favor. The UN General Assembly resolutions, however,
    are merely consultative.
