The Stratfor analytical centre thinks that the US is ready to give
up Armenia in order to keep Russia away from the Caucasus. This
analysis assumes that Washington is interested in assisting Turkey
and developing its relations with Azerbaijan.
The Stratfor analysts suggest that the resolution adopted by the
Foreign Relations Committee of the US Congress was the product
of intense lobbying by the Armenian Diaspora in the USA, although
the White House had no influence over this resolution and the Obama
administration is opposed to it. The Obama administration cares more
about bilateral relations between Turkey and the USA.
Moreover this resolution has no practical significance. The White
House will be against voting on the draft resolution in Congress
in May as it is aware that adopting this resolution will undermine
the signing of the new Ankara and Yerevan relationship restoration
protocols. Moreover Washington is interested in facilitating further
good relations between Baku and Ankara as Turkey is a serious supporter
of the USA against further Russian infiltration in the Caucasus.
