ArmInfo. "Speaking about the meetings between the presidents, it is first of all necessary to take into account the political situation in which these meetings take place." At the moment, the political situation in Armenia is extremely favorable, "political expert Alexander Manasyan stated at a press conference on October 16.
As a proof of a favorable geopolitical situation for Armenia, the expert cited the forthcoming signing of the Agreement on Enhanced and Comprehensive Cooperation between the Republic of Armenia and the EU. "This is proof that the EU regards Armenia as a part of Europe and regards it as a country that corresponds to European values and standards, Europe wants to deepen and develop its relations with Armenia, it is obvious that as for Azerbaijan, the situation is completely opposite," said Manasyan. The political scientist noted that for the last 3 years, Europe has finally realized who it is dealing with. "The recent scandals connected with the violation of human rights, as well as the so-called" Azerbaijan Landmass "clearly showed that it is impossible to tolerate Azerbaijan in the Council of Europe," Manasyan said.
Manasyan noted that Europe is stuffing educational work towards Azerbaijan, the same as periodically carried out against Turkey. "Turkey and Azerbaijan are gradually becoming identical countries, and the world, in the person of Europe, is trying to change them," the expert said. In addition to the EU, the same trend in deepening relations with Armenia, according to Manasyan, is seen in the United States. "When the CSTO exercises were held in Armenia, the American general said that the US will deepen its cooperation with the Armenian Armed Forces and the Russian base in this matter is not a hindrance," the political scientist said, adding that China is also showing great interest in Armenia. All this, according to Manasyan, shows that a suitable historical moment has come for Armenia to become a link between the West and the East.
What about possibilities of renewal of military actions, according to the expert, it can happen only in case Baku absolutely does not care about West and Russia, which is unlikely.
