/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia could play a more important
role in the region, irrelative of the NKR issue or
blockade imposed by Turkey, chairman of Mitq
analytical center, historian Eduard Abrahamyan said in
an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.

The role of our state is badly demanded over the lack
of flexibility in the foreign policy, according to
him.

`Armenia proves unable to suppress the growing
anti-Armenian moods in Georgia. But as a matter of
fact, our republic could be an unofficial guarantor of
sustainable development of Armenian-inhabited Samtskhe
Javakheti and strengthen Armenian economic and
political influence on Ajaria via promoting political
and territorial autonomization of Samtskhe Javakheti.
It would force Georgia to consider Yerevan’s opinion.
Ajaria and Samtskhe Javakheti make the outlet toward
to the Black Sea which is the solution to the problem
of blockade,’ he said.

`Let’s look how Baku pursues its policy in Kvemo
Kartli, where plants and enterprises are established
with the Azerbaijani capital. Furthermore, political
consolidation of Azeri population in Georgia has
started with formation of regional political bodies
like the Azeri national assembly and the Party of
Azerbaijanis of Georgia,’ the expert emphasized.

`To avoid a calamity, the new leadership of Armenia
should prevent Georgian assimilation and outflow of
Armenians from Samtskhe Javakheti via direct
investments in its economy and its transformation into
a political entity,’ he resumed.
