ArmInfo. The high degree of interweaving and interconnectedness of global and regional interests of the United States makes it possible to link the issue of peace or war in Artsakh even with the outcome of trade negotiations between the United States and China. former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Artsakh Republic, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, well-known political scientist Arman Melikyan expressed a similar opinion to ArmInfo.
"In this light, the interest of American diplomats and high-ranking officials to the Artsakh problem and Armenia is not surprising. Accordingly, the Armenian authorities need to have a clear overall concept of relations with the outside world. A concept on the basis of which Armenia will build interstate relations with both the United States and with China. Russia, immediate neighbors and other countries, "he said.
In order to form such a foreign policy concept, the current authorities of Armenia, according to Melikyan, need to have clear ideas, a vision of developments, impulses and events in the world for at least the next one to two decades. In his opinion, such forecasting is possible, and it can be prepared in Armenia. However, for this to begin, the authorities need to realize the need for such serious work.
"Only after that they will be able to organize this process, to act as its customer. For obvious reasons, such work cannot have external funding and even political assistance. Creating a foreign policy concept of Armenia based on forecasting presupposes that the need is solely within Armenia and should be done by order of the authorities. Unfortunately, today there is no such need at the state level, " Melikyan concluded .
