Armenia – April 9 2022

Brussels is not the platform where the Armenian-Azerbaijani and Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh)-Azerbaijani issues will be resolved in the current situation. Political analyst Argishti Kiviryan stated about this in the TALK TIME program of Armenian News-NEWS.am, commenting on Wednesday’s meeting in Brussels between Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev—and mediated by European Council President Charles Michel.

"This region is still in the Russian ‘zone,’ Russian peacekeepers are deployed in Artsakh, Russian soldiers are standing at a number of sectors of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. At the moment, all those who stand on the border are the 'godfathers,' to put it harshly, of this case.

But what is the interest of Brussels, Western circles? On the one hand, this is an attempt to prove that they exist. On the other hand, to develop the situation and check what opportunities there are, as they—either Brussels or the West—are not globally interested in the Artsakh or the Armenian-Azerbaijani issues. They are interested in what situation can be created here to force Russia to leave the region," Kiviryan said.

According to him, this situation has worsened ever since the current Ukrainian war.

"We see that this is the objective of the West. Their main objective here is to 'poison' the lives of the Russians here," the analyst said.
