Armenian Security Council Secretary urged to reconsider relations with Turkey

46

Armen Grigoryan, secretary of the Armenian Security Council, called for a reconsideration of relations with Turkey. In this case, it will be possible to unblock transport communications.

The official made this statement on the air of the Public Television of Armenia.



Grigoryan urged to stop considering Turkey an enemy, as it is written in the national security strategy, and to resume dialogue with it, since after the Karabakh war the political situation in Transcaucasia has undergone significant changes. At the same time, he does not claim that Ankara does not threaten Armenia in any way, but, in his words, “the processes in the region provide other opportunities as well”.

The release should be not only with Azerbaijan, but also in a broader regional context, and there are prerequisites for this.

- he said, probably referring to the fact that the borders between Turkey and Armenia have been closed since 1993.

And although Grigoryan proposes to improve relations with Ankara and Baku, he prefers that these processes take place under the supervision and protection of the Russian peacekeeping contingent. He believes that after the end of the agreed five-year period, the Russian peacekeepers should not leave Nagorno-Karabakh.

It is difficult to say what will happen in five years, but our steps are aimed at ensuring that they remain ... On our agenda, so that they remain for a long time.

- considers the Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia.

      Anyway, it's better than war.
      Moreover, at the borders of Russia.
      And if they manage to tie the neighbors in a mutually beneficial business, this can only be welcomed.
      It is important for Russia, as a mediator, to have its own benefit in this matter, and not "as usual" - for thanks

        From the point of view of the Russian Federation, yes. I don't know how the Armenian nationalists who may come to power in the RA after Pashinyan will react to this ...
        And if they manage to tie the neighbors in a mutually beneficial business, this can only be welcomed.

        How? All big business in the RA rests on Russian investments, and there are no other investors there ... if only the trade with Iran will increase, but the ownership of the Sinyuk region is questionable ...

        What benefit has the Russian Federation received over the past 30 years from the fact that the entire Republic of Armenia exists thanks to the Russian Federation?

            Really?
            There is no developed agriculture in the country that can satisfy the needs of at least one Russian region, no potential, no hopes for development. Strategic partnership alone is not enough. And Armenia today is not even able to feed itself.
            However, many in Armenia understand that it is not about politics at all, but about the very practical benefit. How to trade with a country where agriculture died along with the Soviet regime, and the new government was unable to rectify the situation?

            https://news.day.az/politics/934502.html
            There are 513 thousand hectares of agricultural land in the republic. Of these, farm land to be cultivated is 389 thousand. These are gardens and fields (not counting high-altitude pastures, where sowing and plowing are not carried out). But of these 389 thousand, about 220 are cultivated, and at best half are irrigated.

            Turks and Azerbaijanis will not go there, Georgians, to put it mildly, are not so rich, while Persians and Russians themselves have enough such places, and the logistics are expensive ...
            Tourist business in Armenia continues to suffer losses without foreign tourists, "Khabar 24" correspondent reports. The coronavirus has ruined the 2020 winter, spring and summer seasons and is likely to hit the sector next year as well.

        I am only a little touched by the hypocrisy of the Armenians, who, when necessary, shake the invaders away with transporters, and after a couple of years we are their best friends.

        The only problem is that they do not value this friendship anyway.

            Currently, Pashinyan's party has managed to spoil relations within the Armenian people themselves. There is a pronounced antagonism between the foreign Armenian diaspora, the Armenian population of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and the Armenians of Armenia proper. Against this background, Pashinyan's anti-Russian actions with burning Russian flags or voicing fakes about the unusability of Russian weapons at the time Russian representatives are negotiating the sale of these weapons to a Middle Eastern country do not look surprising. Now it is not clear what the priorities of the politicians and the elite of the Armenian state are. Perhaps they are satisfied with the current state of affairs, when from all over the world the Armenian communities send to the funds controlled by the government of Armenia, and in fact Pashinyan personally, multibillion-dollar sums. It seems that the Armenians sent about 300 billion rubles from Russia to Pashinyan after the start of the October war over Nagorno-Karabakh. As far as I know, Pashinyan did not spend the lion's share of this money for military purposes, and it was from these funds that he paid and pays for the activities of his supporters during the post-war political crisis.

    For a country to develop, it must be friends at least with its neighbors, the richer and larger they are than the country itself. Huddled in a corner and at enmity with others does not go far. Now they are doing the right approach and should have done it for a long time. In 30 years, the region could develop at least to the level of the Baltics. And now, in real life, a return to the 90th.
