If Armenia had international reputation, Hungary would have never
extradited Ramil Safarov, Hmayak Hovhannisyan, Chairman of the
Political Scientists Union of Armenia, told journalists on Monday.
"The terrible slap we have got was a premeditated and deliberately
timed step. It is highly important to consider two factors - the
context and time - in analyzing each event. They could have done it
a year ago or a year later, but they have done it now, in the present
political context," Hovhannisyan said.
As to what "now" means, Hovhannisyan said that Azerbaijan's regional
role in being emphasized now, with Syria developments being an
occasion. "The Armenians' situation in Syria is arousing concern. This
is the first Armenian community formed after the Armenian Genocide.
And now that, supported by the West, armed groups are attacking
Armenians' spiritual heritage in Syria, this event has happened,"
Hovhannisyan said.
He stressed that fact that during this period the West emphasized
Azerbaijan's role. "In the context of the well-known Congressman's
letter that proposes partitioning Iran and thus enlarging Azerbaijan's
territory. In this situation, when Hillary Clinton answered -
which remains secret - and Azerbaijan's role in the region is being
emphasized, this has happened," Hovhannisyan said.
Elaborating on Armenia's international reputation, he noted that the
forthcoming local and presidential elections may improve it.
