When aligning with the Eurasian Economic Union, the authorities of
Armenia should have thought not just of the 170 million market, but
also of the negative consequences, such as escalation of tension on
the Armenian-Azerbaijani border and unfavorable statements of the OSCE
MG co-chairs, Ara Papyan, Director of the Modus Vivendi Centrer, told
ArmInfo.
To recall, OSCE MG, James Warlick, the OSCE MG Co-Chair of U.S. told
APA that extradition of the Azeri diversionists convicted in Nagorny
Karabakh would be a kind step that would help reduce tensions and
build confidence between the parties.
"Armenia has occurred in the heat of the West-Russia confrontation and
as a EEU country it will be feeling permanent pressure in terms of
statements on Karabakh and anti-Armenian resolution," Papyan said.
According to him, it is not for the first time when representatives of
a mediating country raise the issue of the diversionists in a way not
favorable for Armenia.
The expert believes that the meetings as part of the peace talks have
become an end in itself. "In his annual reports the Foreign Minister
of Armenia does not speak of the goals achieved. He just speaks of the
meetings and visits, which, as a rule, bring no result," Papyan said.
He pointed out that the Foreign Ministry of Armenia has a Soviet-time
work-style - for the sake of appearance, not for a result.
