    Will Armenia Be Expulsed From UN?


    The Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius marks a new stage of
    international policy. Although Russia was able to postpone global
    changes, it is something temporary because Russia does not have
    sufficient political and economic resources to support the `old world
    order'. Furthermore, the game is more complicated in terms of
    technologies and participants.

    Russia and its new allies in the Customs Union have become marginal
    and condemned themselves to international isolation. The Soviet Union
    could stand such conditions for hardly 70 years despite immense
    resources and dominance over a huge number of states. Russia does not
    have this and it's hard to tell how long it will hold on. Moscow
    understands this and has tried to engage in international politics
    through Ukraine as a third and full party but Europe has declined this
    proposal. Apparently, the policy of isolating and marginalizing Russia
    continues in other international organizations as well, primarily the
    United Nations.

    There are rumors that the UN may consider expulsion of Customs Union
    members as by joining the Customs Union these countries agreed to lose
    partly their sovereignty and decision making to some `supranational'
    body. In fact, these countries have given up on sovereign foreign
    policy. Hence, the votes of these countries in international
    organizations will automatically pass to Russia.

    After World War II Stalin wanted the Union members to become UN
    members but only Ukraine and Belarus were granted membership as
    countries which suffered from the war the most. The other states were
    not granted membership because those states were not sovereign. By the
    way, the foreign ministers of those countries officially were deputy
    ministers of foreign affairs of the USSR.

    For its part, the new world order supposes establishment of new
    international organizations and modernization of the existing ones in
    which only sovereign states will participate, coming up with their
    requirements and approaches.
