New escalations are expected in Armenian-Azerbaijani relations. Expert
November 29 2014
Head of Yerevan geopolitical club Arman Boshyan claims that a new wave
of tension in Armenian-Azerbaijani relations is expected. "If we
follow the statements by the Minsk Group co-chairs, US and Russian
officials, we would see that the situation would once again be
escalated. In other words, the West will do everything for Aliyev to
attack one more time, because Aliyev is facing an alternative, either
you are inciting a war, or you're going to have a Maidan," said Arman
Boshyan without specifying which of the foreign officials' statement
he understood about the possible aggravations. To our observation that
during Aliyev-Serzh Sargsyan recent meeting, according to official
release, it seems an agreement has been reached on preservation of
peace on the border, our interlocutor continued, "Aliyev promised a
lot, but words do not decide anything but the actions, which we do not
see. This person has no other choice, he is either going to create a
tension on the border, or this would be his end. The West naturally
should provoke to such actions, because the popping up of a new
geopolitical player, the Eurasian Economic Union, with which you need
to refer with Your, is not to its benefit." According to him, despite
the name - an Economic Union, a new geopolitical union is formed and
serious geopolitical clashes are begun. "Actually, the EaEU forms a
geopolitical force. As a result, the conflicts are exacerbated, both
local and regional. Because these processes are directed against
non-formation of another player in the world, because, once formed,
another system suffers, which is formed around the dollar. The
situation is of the war, tensions, dollar, ruble increase, decrease,
instable situation of banking system." As interpreted by Arman
Boshyan, the EaEU does not threaten Armenia's national identity, on
the contrary. "It promotes, we preserve our national identity, because
this Union unlike the European Union does not direct anything against
our national identity, we can keep at least our history and values
system. The European Union does not suggest us something like that, on
the contrary, they were suggesting changing our values system. They're
saying why we did not choose the West, but the West has never offered
us a membership to the European Union. If we had refused the EaEU, we
would have appeared in an economic isolation, because currently we are
in isolation with our positioning, war situation, and relations with
Turkey. Armenia is a small country, but has an impact on the entire
Eurasian area by the right of veto, we can block, for example,
Azerbaijan, in other words, we obtain a legal effect being a member of
this Union. Well, should the European Union offer a membership by veto
rights, and we are a very important area, we could become, in this
case one could think, an EaEU or a European Union".
