"Since the collapse of the USSR it has become impossible to understand
the role of the NATO," said Jirair Liparityan, the Adviser to the
RoA First President on economic issues, during the discussion "NATO
and South Caucasus", initiated by the "Agreement" Center.
According to Jirair Liparityan, the NATO is rather a tool for the
United States than a military-political structure. The political elite
of the United States is in uncertainty over its vision of the world:
hegemony of the United States or a multi-pole world. "The United
States does not know what relations it will have with Russia, China,
India, Iran, the Near East and Europe. Today the USA faces serious
problems as Russia, China and India change their roles. The USA is
a stimulus for the NATO," Jirair Liparityan says.
The USA locates anti-missile equipment in Poland and in the Czech
Republic without the NATO. "This means that the USA neglects the NATO."
"The USA faces a dilemma; to support democratic values or dictatorship
in security issues? The discord around Iraq comes to prove that the
country is unable to face future challenges and solve its further
problems."
After recalling the conflict between Turkey and Greece when Turkey
united with Cyprus and the NATO was unable to solve the conflict,
Liparityan raised a question, "Is the NATO capable of solving South
Caucasian and Armenian issues? The NATO is a pill and like any medicine
it is only useful for some organisms," Liparityan said.
David Shahnazaryan, the Director of the Agreement Centre partially
shared Liparityan's opinion. South Caucasus conflicts are determined by
the fact that the regional countries are polarized. Georgia strives
to be engaged in the NATO and intensify its relations with the
NATO. Azerbaijan has also declared about its intention to affiliate
to the NATO, Shahnazaryan says.
Jirair Liparityan says today Armenia is isolated, and is of no
international interest. And according to Jirair Liparityan, the reason
is that the Armenian state has become weaker and has lost all the
alternatives. The reason for weakening is, according to Liparityan,
that the country today does not solve the important issues it has
with its neighbors and inside the country. And not going to NATO is
not a way out, Jirair Liparityan says.
