I think the escalation of tensions around our region has geopolitical
reasons, said Gagik Petrosyan, member of the Board of the Azat Hayrenik
Party, in an interview with Karabakh-Open.com.
"First and foremost, it is control over regions of carbohydrates and
the routes of transportation of carbohydrates. Secondly, the nuclear
program of Iran which I think should be aimed at peaceful development
of atom. Thirdly, it is the wish to keep the U.S. troops in the region
and increase the contingent. Fourthly, it is an effort to create
a Kurdish state in the territories of Iran, Turkey and Syria which
will close the issue of the Armenian and Turkish border forever and
will become a precondition for Iran’s involvement in war. Finally,
it is shift of the focus and concentration of world powers from other
regions to this," Gagik Petrosyan says.
"Unfortunately, I have to note that the activity about the recognition
of the Armenian Genocide by the U.S. House, the support of the Jewish
organizations of the U.S. relate to the developments in the region.
In this context I do not rule out a war, an unfair resolution of the
issue, deployment of the NATO troops in Azerbaijan, a flow of refugees
from Iran.
It is unpredictable therefore we need to be ready for anything,"
Gagik Petrosyan says.
