Ara Papian: It is important to know who Trump's aide will be (video)
Head of the Modus Vivendi Center, expects changes in the world after Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential elections. “I expect good changes for Armenia. Trump is a little unpredictable, but I expect interesting developments for us,” Ara Papian said on November 11. The political analyst says at this moment the recognition of the Armenian Genocide is not as urgent and important for us as compensation for it. Mr. Papian does not expect major changes in the U.S.-Armenian relations over the Karabakh issue; rather he sees certain stability in them. “The U.S will be one of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair countries and will try to come up with initiatives, though Trump personally said that he is unaware of the problems in Artsakh, Karabakh. At this moment, it is more important to know who Trump’s aide will be who will teach him how to work.” Bako Sahakyan’s congratulations [sent to Trump] will not play any role and will be considered a private, rather than public congratulation. Mr. Papian says Russia was delighted by Trump’s victory as it hopes that the new U.S. President will stop sanctions. Speaking about the military exercises to be held by Azerbaijan on the border with Karabakh, the political analyst said ‘it is disturbing as Azerbaijan is trying to solve the problem by force but they cannot.’
