Politician: Pashinyan should voice his proposals directly to Erdogan,  bypassing Aliyev

ArmInfo.The proposal of the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan to Azerbaijan to resume the dialogue at the highest level, in my opinion, looks quite   appropriate.  Conservative Party Chairman Mikayel Hayrapetyan   expressed this opinion to ArmInfo.

"The time for voicing it was also chosen correctly, especially  against the background of the gradually increasing  expansionist-ambitious attacks of the Azerbaijani dynastic ruler.  Moreover, in my opinion, Pashinyan should go even further and voice  his proposals directly to Erdogan, bypassing the intermediate link in  the form of Aliyev," he remarked.

In this light, Hayrapetyan stressed that everyone already understands  that, by and large, the Azerbaijani dynast does not decide anything  in the international arena, entrusting the fate of its own country to  Turkey and transnational corporations. The politician believes that  the time for Armenia to speak in a language understandable to the  world has long come and, for example, the CSTO today is unable to  carry out not only a peacekeeping, but also a monitoring mission on  the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

In his opinion, such a mission in the interests of Armenia can be  carried out either by the OSCE Minsk Group themselves, or by a  mission within the framework of NATO, on the condition that the OSCE  Minsk Group co-chairing countries exclude military participation in  this mission. In parallel with all this, the politician considers it  necessary to adopt a new concept of security with the subsequent  reorganization of the Armed Forces of Armenia. However, not according  to the Russian model, which was defeated in the 44-day war, but  according to the modern NATO model with the involvement of military  advisers and instructors from the Alliance countries.

"We don't have much time for all this. We see how Russia has already  begun the process of deploying its additional military units on our  borders. I am practically convinced that this process, by and large,  is not even coordinated with the leadership of Armenia. I think that  everything is much more complicated and the Russian military are  stationed on our borders not for the purpose of their protection  alone. Everything is much more complicated - Russia is preparing for  a big confrontation in the South Caucasus. Within the framework of  which it prepares its line of this confrontation on the territory of  Armenia, simply because it considers it as its own, " Hayrapetyan  summed up.
