HMAYAK HOVHANNISYAN ABOUT THE SOUTH CAUCASIAN «APPENDIX»
Today the Political Debate Club organized a seminar in hotel Congress about
the isolation of Armenia from regional programs.
The first reporter was NA deputy Hmayak Hovhannisyan, and the second was to
be a representative of the government or the coalition, but the club had not
managed to come to an agreement with a reporter from the coalition. Hmayak
Hovhannisyan represented his opinion alone. He repeated that our country is
completely left out of regional developments and has turned into an
«appendix».
Deputy Hovhannisyan quoted an American theoretic who has considered Ukraine,
Southern Korea, Turkey, Iran, and Azerbaijan political-geographical centers.
And the political-geographical centers, according to Hovhannisyan, are the
countries which are of particular interest for China, Japan, India, USA,
France, and Germany. The quotation was made with the aim of proving that
Armenia is not of any interest for any country, and the opposition must not
wait for an impetus from abroad to start revolution.
He said, «USA does not mean to drive Russia out of the region, they simply
do not allow Russia or Turkey to become super powers in the region, and
Russia has already put up with the situation».
As for the countries which are not considered political-geographical centers
but are undertaking democratic changes (Georgia, Moldova, Iraq, and
Kyrgyzstan), Hmayak Hovhannisyan said, `Moldova is the country where the
West realized changes without investing resources, Iraq had oil, Georgia is
an interim country which helps to realize regional programs, and the events
of Kyrgyzstan were to created background to realize the same changes in
Uzbekistan’.
Hmayak Hovhannisyan gave special importance to Uzbekistan among the CIS
countries, by which the interest of the world towards the country is
conditioned.
