POLITICAL ANALYST: ARMENIA AND ARTSAKH ARE NOT INSURED AGAINST EXTERNAL THREATS
13:20 | March 16,2015 | Politics
It is important and useful for us to remember that the international
recognition of the Armenian Genocide and the topic of old and
bloody wrinkles existing in Armenian-Turkish relations today serve
as effective political and diplomatic tools used by others in
international relations, says political analyst Arman Melikyan.
"Not wanting to belittle the practical steps of Moscow and Paris to
recognize and condemn the Armenian Genocide I cannot hide that they
were dictated by their political interests. If for France and the
European Union, the denial of the Armenia Genocide by Turkey served
as a strong argument to pose insurmountable obstacles for Ankara on
the path to EU membership, for Russia, the hostile relations between
Armenia and Turkey, are good opportunities to maintain and increase
its military presence in Asia Minor and the Caucasus region.
Unfortunately, as a result of the constant rivalry between Russia
and Turkey, the vast area of land stretching from Constantinople to
Baku was deprived of its native Armenian inhabitants. The Republic of
Armenia and the Republic of Artsakh are not fully insured against
formidable threats coming from the outside world and we should
seriously contemplate over this fact, and recalling the bitter lessons
of the past, we should strive to find the political formula that will
ensure peaceful and sustainable future for our country and its people,"
Arman Melikyan said.
