Mathew Bryza’s statements show that the geopolitical situation is
changing in the region, stated Ruben Safrastyan, expert of Turkish
Studies, who commented Mathew Bryza with Hrant Khachatryan on July
7 at the Hayeli Club.
Ruben Safrastyan believes that the geopolitical status quo established
10-12 years ago is changing, the evidence to this is the pullout of the
Russian force from Georgia, the operation of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan
oil pipeline. Ruben Safrastyan thinks that another display of changes
underway will be the alleged membership of Georgia to NATO, which
will happen in the nearest future, says the expert of Turkish studies.
Ruben Safrastyan says Bryza’s statement implies that the United States
is likely to have political processes in the region, including Armenia,
adjusted to the new geopolitical state of things. Ruben Safrastyan,
expert of Turkish studies, thinks that connecting Turkish-Armenian
relations and the resolution of the Karabakh conflict, which Bryza did,
is in this context.
Ruben Safrastyan stresses that this approach is not new and,
unfortunately, expresses the approach of the United States to
this issue. He says Armenia should do its best to divide the
Turkish-Armenian relations and the resolution of the conflict over
Karabakh by changing the approach of the United States.
The leader of the Constitutional Right Union Hrant Khachatryan
agrees with Ruben Safrastyan. According to him, the geopolitical
frontier has moved towards the East since 1985. In his opinion,
Armenia should be more alert and attentive in such a situation, get
rid of historical complexes and make realistic decisions. Therefore,
according to Hrant Khachatryan, there are quite favorable international
components, and we only have to find a correct and effective solution
of national problems.
