ARMENIA CANNOT REVISE RELATIONS WITH RUSSIA AS LONG AS TURKISH FACTOR EXISTS
13:54 * 03.02.15
Armenia has very few opportunities for maneuvering as long as the
current geopolitical conditions and Turkey's factor remain, and the
Stratfor is well aware of that, political scientist Levon Shirinyan
told Tert.am as he commented on the latest report by Stratfor.
According to the report, Armenia and Belarus, Russia's loyal allies,
will revise their relations with Moscow.
"I think that it is only Stratfor that is better informed that I am.
Regrettably, as long as the Turkish factor and the possibility of
closer Russian-Turkish relations exist, our possibilities are limited.
And this situation has lasted for more than 100 years," Mr Shirinyan
said.
The Stratfor report is based on Belarusian President Alexander
Lukashenko's statement that did not rule out the country's secession
from the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) if the agreements would not be
honored. As to Armenia, it shows growing discontent with the conflict
with Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh, with Russia playing a key role.
"I predicted nuclear blackmail, and history has shown the real
essence of so-called 'Russian will.' they destroy everything to
achieve their aims."
Mr Shirinyan advises continuing multi-vector relations with Russia
and Azerbaijan to seek security guarantees.
The West does not give Armenia any security guarantees.
"So we should be most prudent, without coming into conflict with
anyone, and word with Russia."
