The new cold war is already developing. But everybody keep
up appearances. However, the existing platforms for removal of
disagreements do not work, Russian political expert, deputy director
of PIR - Centre for International Studies, Dmitriy Polikanov, said
at today's Internet press-conference.
"Neither UN, nor OSCE or "seven"and "twenty" can settle the available
crises and are not an instrument for making arrangements. The
competition between different poles will grow. In fact, there are
three big poles. The first, chiefly the Anglo-Saxondom, consists
of the USA and its allies, which protect a certain collection of
moral principles and their right to render justice on the basis
of these principles. The second pole consists of Russia, China and
other members of BRIC, which protect more ordinary, conservative and
traditional values. The third pole is an Islam world: ISIL, radical
Syrian opposition, which protect their own code, that meets or does
not meet the first two poles",- he said.
These poles have been still fighting each other and building walls. No
"iron curtains" have been built, at least, the Russian party does
not want that. But the cold war has been developing at the level of
the information war and the war for the conscious of a man. In this
context, he said that small countries should be maximally neutral
in the cold war between the West and Russia. "Everybody were pleased
with Ukraine's status-quo, when it had an out of the bloc status and
could play a part of a bridge between the West and East. But as soon
as this fragile balance was broken, a sharp confrontation appeared",
- he said. He thinks that another tactic of small countries should
be resolving of their own problems at the expense of disagreements
between the big actors.
"The crisis in Ukraine has shown that the machinery at least at
the OSCE platform, which would make it possible to find mutually
acceptable solution of such conflicts, did not function. I think that
Karabakh as well will not avoid that, especially when the parties
to the conflict will accumulate forces for such confrontation. There
will be also external provocations, as the West is not pleased with
Eurasian Economic Union and with the fact of Armenia's joining EEU.
So, they will try to destabilize the situation",- Polikanov said.
