    N. ZLOBIN: ARMENIA IS VERY ROMANTIC... IT SHOULD BECOME MORE CYNICAL

    "With ancient history, I think, Armenia has a romantic view to
    life and I am deeply convinced that your country should behave more
    cynically, in the wide sense of the word," Nikolai Zlobin, Russian
    -American political scientist, journalist and researcher Senior
    Fellow, Director of the Russia and Eurasia Project at the World
    Security Institute in Washington, told Panorama.am. Nikolai Zlobin
    is in Yerevan to participate in the 2-day conference "Security and
    Information Cooperation Issues in the South Caucasus".

    Zlobin reiterated his thesis that Armenia shouldn't stick to its past
    but should live with the present and fight for the future.

    What does it mean: Armenia should become more cynical. To the inquiry
    whether it implies that Azerbaijan is more cynical (as to cut it mild,
    Armenian-Azerbaijani complicated relations are lying in the context
    of the issue), the political scientist said it is so.

    "Though Karabakh issue is a burden for Azerbaijani side as well,
    Azerbaijan started to have more rational views to things, like
    involvement in global issues, access to global energy market, "good"
    relations with major players, etc," he said.

    "Of course, I can't say that this is a ruling tendency in Azerbaijan,
    but, to me, they look more forward nowadays that they used to some
    time ago," Zlobin highlighted.

    He added, however, it wouldn't be right to consider all these as
    Azerbaijan's trump card from the point of view of Karabakh conflict,
    as he confessed he doesn't know how the issue could be regulated.
