    The Price of EU-Armenia Integration

    Lragir.am has already commented on the possibilities of imposing
    conditions on Armenia in regard to integration with the EU. One can
    add that similar or parallel conditions may be imposed in case of
    expansion of partnership with NATO.

    It should be noted immediately that these conditions are not related
    to thoroughly and substantially elaborated documents but the practice
    of the EU and NATO member states relating to Turkish and Azerbaijani
    policy and interests. In other words, the EU and NATO positions and
    interests divide over the regional policy of the Euro-Atlantic
    community.

    As to the `friends' of Turkey and Azerbaijan, one needs to understand
    that they have abandoned the interests of these two countries for many
    times and successfully whenever they ran into the threat of disgrace
    of the policy relating to oil and gas production in Azerbaijan.

    One can remember the events of 2005 when someone from the `European
    club' came up with an initiative of pressure on Armenia. These efforts
    were successfully neutralized thanks to the interests of the
    non-governmental sector which reminded a specific country about oil
    interests in the South Caucasus.

    Now history is apparently repeating, and the goals are the same. The
    friends of Azerbaijan and Turkey could like to lead the conditions put
    forth to Armenia to their logical end, or rather to show their
    possible business partners that all the tasks have been performed, all
    the efforts have been made to protect their interests.

    As before, these efforts will fail, which does not contradict the real
    interests of the `friends' of Turkey and Azerbaijan.
