Emotional outbursts interfere with politics
Turkey will never stop benefitting from the political situation in order to settle its geopolitical problems, says Armenia's ex-deputy FM, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Arman Navasardyan.
In an interview with A1+, Mr. Navasardyan said he was among the first diplomats to hail Serzh Sargsyan's "football diplomacy" and Armenia-Turkey reconciliation.
"In this political mess, Armenia should try to be prudent, flexible and swift not to lose the game," said the diplomat.
With regard to the Karabakh conflict, Arman Navasardyan said, "As diplomacy is based on concessions, politics cannot be built up on emotional outbursts. One must be able to find the modus vivendi, the true model that will enable us to cooperate with our neighbours. This is vital for us."
The diplomat refrained from commenting on Armenia's foreign policy and said our officials frequently fail to use their diplomatic potential.
"Our diplomats should be actively engaged in the political life. Only in that case they will have tangible results," he said.
