Armenia must be neutral in the U.S.-Iran conflict and temporize, and
the best way of temporizing is change of power, believes the leader
of the Nor Zhamanakner Party (New Times).
According to him, the question of accepting or rejecting deployment
of American peacemakers in the liberated territories cannot have an
answer that would favor us: if we accepted it, we would have problems
with Iran, if not, with the United States. If we had problems with
Iran, at least 150 thousand refugees would come to Armenia, Iran
would station forces in the liberated territories, preventing the
United States, and considering the position of Nakhidjevan and Turkey,
it would be difficult to prevent an attack on Maghri, forecasts Aram
Karapetyan. He believes that the special services of Iran have worked
hard enough to be able to provoke instability in the countries of
the South Caucasus. This somber picture will not become reality if
Armenia remains neutral.
Russia will not be neutral. Aram Karapetyan thinks Armenia can enter
a confederation with Russia, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan.
However, this does not suggest breaking relations with the United
States. Aram Karapetyan assures that he has never met a serious
politician or analyst who would suggest breaking relations with the
United States and neglecting the 1.5 million Diasporan Armenians in
the United States. Similarly, the Armenian community of Russia cannot
be neglected.
For the nationalist tensions in Russia, Aram Karapetyan says the
assassination of the Armenian young man in Russia was intended; they
killed a native of Karabakh. “Russian-Georgian relations are bad,
but in Russia they do not assassinate Georgians.” According to Aram
Karapetyan, the actions of nationalists in Russia are coordinated,
and they push Armenians because “there is no trust in the Armenian
leadership.”
