HOW RAFFI WILL COME TO POWER
Lragir, Armenia
July 26 2007
The stance of the West will be deciding for the outcome of the
presidential election, stated the president of the Association of
Political Scientists Hmayak Hovanisyan on July 26 at the National
Press Club. "Armenia adheres to the focus of the clash of geopolitical
interests, and as a country that adheres, the issue of the Armenian
government is influenced by the geopolitical interests," says Hmayak
Hovanisyan.
According to him, the prospect of a change of government will be
postponed by at least 5 years. "According to Brzezinski, the West is
interested in Azerbaijan among the countries of the region. And the
issue of involving Azerbaijan in the sphere of influence of the West
is a major issue. In fact, he writes nothing about Armenia.
Azerbaijan and Georgia but Azerbaijan is the country which has a core
importance because our region is believed to be posed to tectonic
changes, and Azerbaijan has a core importance in this region. Hence,
control over the leaders of Armenia with a Karabakh origin, the entire
government of Armenia, is highly important to the West because it is
a way of pushing Azerbaijan toward NATO," Hmayak Hovanisyan says.
He says the West will therefore keep the so-called Karabakh clan in
power in Armenia as long as Azerbaijan has not become a member of
NATO yet. Hmayak Hovanisyan says it is not accidental that Alexander
Arzumanyan, a "son-in-law of Americans", who was the representative
of Armenia to the UN, looked for money in Russia because there are
circles in Russia who are well-aware that "the leadership who come
from Karabakh push Azerbaijan to break relations with Russia and the
influence of the West over it increased." He says there is a western
scenario according to which the West pushes Azerbaijan to join NATO
through a leadership with a Karabakh origin of Armenia, after which
the Karabakh issue will be solved in favor of Azerbaijan. "Azerbaijan
will be hastily attached to Azerbaijan, Russia will be blamed for the
fate of Karabakh, afterwards Raffi Hovannisian will come to power,
in five years, for instance, and Armenia will have to join NATO like
in the 20s when Armenia had to join the bolshevists of Azerbaijan
and Georgia when there was nothing else it could do after heavy
losses. History will repeat," Hmayak Hovanisyan says.
He says it does not follow from his words that if Armenia joins NATO
earlier, the Karabakh issue will be solved in our favor. "NATO would
not let Armenia join this organization. For instance, this is the
reason why Arthur Baghdasaryan has no chance. He could not realize
that NATO does not want Armenia’s membership. Today NATO wants Armenia
to state that it is Russia’s ally to remain in the political balance
of Russia," Hmayak Hovanisyan says. He says if the NATO-oriented
forces in Armenia become active now and lead the country towards
NATO if they come to power, Russia may easily stop the movement of
Azerbaijan towards NATO. Therefore, Hmayak Hovanisyan believes that
the government of Armenia will remain of Karabakh origin for another
five years, and will be replaced by Raffi Hovannisian. Hmayak says
his namesake knows this, he knows that it is not his turn yet.
