/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Near East is of great interest for
Washington. It specifically refers to the Caucasus, Professor of
international relations and politics of the Universidad de San Andres
in Buenos Aires, Dr Khachik Ter-Ghukassian said in an interview with
PanARMENIAN.Net.
"The U.S. is perfectly aware that war with Iran will redouble
instability in the region while Washington needs "an arc of stability"
from the Caspian Sea to the Black Sea. First of all, it concerns
oil. The U.S. stands for cooperation but the situation is tensed,
if not explosive. Although, Washington has intentions to improve
relations with Iran.
However, certain difficulties may cause internal developments in
the Caucasus. It's quite possible that the map of the Near East may
change. Anyway, there are some preconditions for it. The U.S. plans
a "mild" division of Iraq with further formation of independent
Kurdistan. At the same time I should stress that U.S. presence in
Iraq doesn't alleviate tension.
Unfortunately, the Arab world lacks either political or intellectual
force capable to change the situation," he said.
