HMAYAK HOVHANNISYAN ABOUT THE SOUTH CAUCASIAN «APPENDIX»

Politics

Today the Political Debate Club organized a seminar in hotel Congress about the isolation of Armenia from regional programs.

The first reporter was NA deputy Hmayak Hovhannisyan, and the second was to be a representative of the government or the coalition, but the club had not managed to come to an agreement with a reporter from the coalition. Hmayak Hovhannisyan represented his opinion alone. He repeated that our country is completely left out of regional developments and has turned into an «appendix».

Deputy Hovhannisyan quoted an American theoretic who has considered Ukraine, Southern Korea, Turkey, Iran, and Azerbaijan political-geographical centers. And the political-geographical centers, according to Hovhannisyan, are the countries which are of particular interest for China, Japan, India, USA, France, and Germany. The quotation was made with the aim of proving that Armenia is not of any interest for any country, and the opposition must not wait for an impetus from abroad to start revolution.

He said, «USA does not mean to drive Russia out of the region, they simply do not allow Russia or Turkey to become super powers in the region, and Russia has already put up with the situation».

As for the countries which are not considered political-geographical centers but are undertaking democratic changes (Georgia, Moldova, Iraq, and Kyrgyzstan), Hmayak Hovhannisyan said, “Moldova is the country where the West realized changes without investing resources, Iraq had oil, Georgia is an interim country which helps to realize regional programs, and the events of Kyrgyzstan were to created background to realize the same changes in Uzbekistan”.

Hmayak Hovhannisyan gave special importance to Uzbekistan among the CIS countries, by which the interest of the world towards the country is conditioned.
