Expert: Russia`s mistake is that it considered that Armenia had  nowhere to escape, and delayed solution of several problems

ArmInfo.There are no real grounds for signing a peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan.  Alexei Mukhin, director general of the Center for Political Information, expressed a similar opinion during a round table on the results of the meeting of the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan under  the auspices of the EU in Chisinau on June 2.

He stressed that the parties are bringing together artificially so  that the latter sign this document. "The most interesting thing is  that, to some extent, all parties are interested in signing. But the  fact remains that the sentiments of the Armenian society are quite  depressed, they are really shocked by what happened, and they are  very disappointed by the positions of the EU, the USA and especially  Russia," Mukhin said.

The expert emphasized that the mistake of the Russian Federation is  that the Russian side believed that Armenia had nowhere to escape,  delaying the solution of several problems, issues that had to be  solved.  "No one removes responsibility from the Russian side. But,  nevertheless, in the Armenian society, one can state that there are  serious demotivational moods," the head of the Center for Political  Information added.

Emphasizing the fact that Nagorno-Karabakh is traditionally  pro-Russian, Mukhin noted that today there is a rather paradoxical,  ironic situation.

"One gets the impression that the Armenian leadership has harmed  Karabakh, because it is pro-Russian, saying here you are pro-Russian,  be a part of Azerbaijan. This is a very strange political decision by  Nikol Pashinyan. But if you look at the goals that he pursues, being  as prime minister, in general, everything lines up in a logical  chain," he said.

In this regard, the expert drew a parallel with Finnish Prime  Minister Sanna Marin, who "pulled" Finland into NATO and left. In his  opinion, one gets the impression that Marin was appointed to this  position for this very reason. "Now Sanna Marin is not clear where,  and Finland is part of NATO. I am tormented by vague doubts that the  role of Nikol Pashinyan is precisely this," Mukhin said. The head of  the Center for Political Information did not rule out that the  signing of any document between the parties will not lead to a  solution to the problems, perhaps it will delay them for some time,  but after a certain time the latter will grow into a series of  serious conflicts that will finally split the Armenian society.
