ArmInfo.The results of the Russia, Iranian and Turkish presidents' meeting in Tehran will provide answers to many questions, including ones concerning the South Caucasus and Armenia, political engineer Vigen Hakobyan said in an interview with ArmInfo.
"Of course, the three regional leaders discuss Armenia-related issues as well, for instance, unblocking regional transport links, etc. The visits the chiefs of the Iranian, U.S. and Russian special services paid to Armenia are part of most serious geopolitical processes – not only regional, but also global ones – involving Iran," Mr Hakobyan said.
On July 19, the Russia, Turkish and Iranian presidents held a meeting in Tehran. Following the trilateral talks, they adopted a joint statement re-affirming their commitment to strengthening their cooperation.
In question is no less than establishment of new rules of the game and, consequently, a new world order as part of the process started with the Ukraine crisis on February 24. The main centers of power are step-by- step entering the "operational" stage in the ongoing geopolitical processes, with prospects of reaching the global level.
"Relevant political decisions have either been adopted in Tehran or have been outlined. In Yerevan, the chiefs of the Iranian, U.S. and Russian intelligence services 'synchronized watches' in the context of all the processes. I am not at all ruling out visits to Yerevan by representatives of other intelligence agencies. Russia is Armenia's strategic ally, and our country is seeking partnership with the United States, bordering on Iran and, as a CSTO member-state, is seeking to open the border with Turkey, a NATO member-state. Geopolitics is inextricably interwoven with geoeconomy. I think these factors are sufficient for the chiefs of intelligence agencies to meet in Yerevan, not anywhere else," Mr Hakobyan said.
