The race among the superpowers is like a perpetual engine, and they
don't ever stop. The task of politicians is to calculate the interests
of non- superpowers, if national, then better, and to locate those
interests among the interests of the superpowers.
Two Armenian politicians, Stepan Grigoryan and Levon Shirinyan
presented them with a difference of hours at the same press club. In
some cases they pointed to differing ways of external supremacy for
the favourable situation of our country.
The efforts of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the direction of
establishing a Eurasian union are reasoned for Shirinyan: Russia wants
to become one of the poles in the two-pole world. In the opinion of
his colleague, politician Grigoryan, the response to the establishment
of that union is not equivalent in Armenia.
"The Eurasian idea is a challenge, we can discuss and that's all. But
what happened here, the noise that was raised, doesn't correspond
to that idea. The main thoughts of that idea haven't still been
invested," chairman of the Analytical Center on Globalisation and
Regional Cooperation Stepan Grgoryan said.
While in Shirinyan's opinion, a special group must be set up within
the national security to discuss that issue.
"No Soviet Union will be reestablished by the Eurasian Union,"
Shirinyan said, and Armenia's authorities can set forth their
preconditions even in this matter. For example, the issue of
Nakhichevan.
"Nakhichevan's issue must be raised as part of the Armenian issue. I
want to cite Russian politician Delkachev, who said once Nakhichevan
was handed over by Azerbaijan's conspiratory and secret protocol,"
Levon Shirinyan added.
"If a state rules here, it can settle all the issues, like Karabakh.
Bolsheviks handed over Kars to Turkey, Nakhichevan and Karabakh to
Azerbaijan. I don't want it to take place again," Stepan Grigoryan
said.
Both politicians noted that we should actively cooperate both with the
West and Russia, in both cases the starting point must be Armenia's
interest.
To note, besides external challenges, one more important internal
challenge also worries Stepan Grigoryan: "But traffic is the main
internal challenge today. It is just awful how the drivers drive
their cars."
