ArmInfo.Armenia has a not very favorable geographical location in terms of resources and neighbors, a Doctor of Geopolitics, Associate Professor at the Paris Institute for Political Studies Frederic Encel mentioned during his lecture , which he delivered at the French embassy in Armenia when asked to comment on the geographical location of Armenia in the context of geopolitical processes.
Encel stated that for many years he had worked on a little state, which has a geographical location impossible for existence.
At the same time, he stated that for such states as Armenia it is vitally important to develop an economy based on high technologies.
Encel also expressed conviction that, based on its geographical location, Armenia is forced to maintain a long-term alliance with Russia. A long-term, but not everlasting, because there's nothing everlasting in this world, and the power poles are changing too rapidly. Today it is difficult for me to predict whether Turkey will remain in NATO, whether it will preserve its territorial integrity, or whether Independent Kurdistan will be created. But one thing is clear, the maintenance of good relations with Iran and Russia is not an obstacle for Armenia to conquer the world, " Encel concluded.
