Political Innovations & Technologies Center informed about important
events occurred last month
Recently the Political Innovations & Technologies Center set out the
regular analytical materials in connection with regional public and
political events which were held last month. At the press-conference
the Director of the mentioned Center, Mubariz Ahmedoghlu informed
that the more important question interested worldwide last month was
situation in Iran. "6" dealt with nuclear technologies in Iran,
proposed Iran to stop activity concerning uranium enrichment. Russia,
holding certain place in "6", stated about its intention to launch
for applying specific sanctions against Iran, if Iran denied to
fulfill taken commitments. Reportedly M. Ahmedoghlu, to date some
tensity in the U.S.-Russian relationship, manifesting itself in
reduction of finances allocated by the U.S. Congress to Russia, is
being observed. At the same time, M. Ahmedoghlu noted the fact that
dynamics development of the relations between Turkey and Russia was
the most important event.
Regarding the South Caucasus, Russia was discontent with development
in post-Soviet countries. Thus, the official Moscow did not cancel
its indignation concerning desire of Ukraine and Georgia to accede to
NATO. Moreover, M. Ahmedoghlu informed that the United States
continues to rehabilitate its influence in Central Asia and charges
Russia and China of exerting pressure upon the Central and South
Asia. Intending to realize US$8 billion project in this region, the
U.S. intends to reach its target.
One more important event concerning the United States which was held
last month was a refusal of the main candidate for the post of the
Ambassador of the United States of America to Armenia, Richard
Houghland to express "Armenian genocide" and his statement that "the
opening of frontiers between Turkey and Armenia is not a subject of
discussion." Furthermore, M. Ahmedoghlu touched upon the point of
aggravation of Armenia-Georgian relationship as a result of
"appropriation" of Georgian songs. According to him, there is a
certain tensity in Armenia-Russian relationship: "The facts of
killing of Armenians in Russian territory and the attempts of
privatization of Armenians’ properties by the Russian incited Armenia
against the Russian. At the same time, Armenia is concerned with that
the U.S. regards Azerbaijan as more democratic. Armenian opposition
assessed this opinion as slap in the face of Kocharian."
Last month was also important for Azerbaijan, as a number of
international arrangements and forums were held here. Regarding
Georgia, the official Tbilisi accusing Russia of conducting agitation
activities, reinforced frontier control with Armenia. The situation
tensity caused new charges by Armenia that accuse the Saakashvili
Government of aggravation of conditions of their compatriots living
in Georgia. Moreover, they are seriously concerned with development
of Azerbaijan-Georgian and Georgia-Turkish relations.
