IN POLITICS ONE SHOULD SPEAK ABOUT ALTERNATIVES RATHER THAN INEVITABLE SITUATIONS
Yerevan, November 30. ArmInfo. In the politics one should speak about
at least two alternatives rater than inevitable situation, says
the president of the Association of Political Experts of Armenia,
MP Hmayak Hovhannissyan while commenting to ArmInfo on the article
by Rezonansi (Georgia) reporting him as saying that Armenia will
inevitably secede from the Collective Security Treaty Organization
and join NATO if the Kars-Akhalkalaki-Tbilisi-Baku railroad is built.
In fact he spoke about two scenarios: the second and no less possible
alternative is that the Armenian authorities will stop restraining
the Armenian national movement in Javakheti which may lead to a
situation similar to Abkhazia and South Ossetia. If the Armenian
authorities stop pacifying the leader of the United Javakhq movement
Vahagn Chakhalyan, this scenario is quite possible. In such a case,
the geo-strategical region of Javakheti, with the Kars-Akhalkalaki
railroad and the Javakheti section of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil
pipeline, will be go under control of Armenian nationalists.
There is also third alternative: even if Armenia begins drifting from
CSTO to NATO, it may simply fail to keep the situation in Javakheti
under control.
