ArmInfo. Neither Moscow before nor Washington today will make a complete and final choice between Armenia and Azerbaijan  - Sergei Markedonov

Yerevan, January 15. ArmInfo, Marianna Mkrtchyan. Russian political scientist Sergei Markedonov considers the Charter on Strategic Partnership signed the day before in Washington between Armenia and the United States to be declarative.

The expert noted that before the disputes around the Armenian  government's project on this country's accession to the European Union had even died down, new news came from Washington. In the US capital, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan and US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken signed the Charter on Strategic Partnership.

 

At the same time, he believes that if you carefully read the text of the Charter, you can easily discover its declarative nature. . Most of the points are already being implemented, many of them are ideologically colored. As if or , taking into account the diaspora factor, are directly opening, starting from January 14, 2025! At the same time, strengthening cooperation ties in defense and security is a formula that is worth paying attention to.  Even despite its obvious declarative nature and the absence of any clear guarantees for Armenia from the United States. A kind of . It can be filled with specifics, or it can be left in a state of half- sleep>,  - Markedonov believes.

At the same time, he draws attention to the fact that the Armenian political elites, and current, are in strict opposition to each other, but one thing unites them firmly, their commitment to the principle of bandwagoning in foreign policy. , - the political scientist is sure. 

Markedonov is sure that the expected breakthrough for Yerevan will not happen with the expected American assistance. "After all, "democracy" and "inclusiveness" can be supported by making concessions to neighbors for the sake of "peace in the region." Naturally, with American moderation and by reducing Russian influence in Eurasia," the expert emphasized.

He also noted that today in Armenia both politicians and public  figures like to repeat one idea: Russia is not an effective  guarantor, Moscow failed, did not help.

and .

Did this help Tbilisi return Abkhazia, South Ossetia? A rhetorical question. At the same time, in 2009, the United States did not face the need to balance between Georgia and Abkhazia. There, sympathies were entirely on the side of the "beacon of democracy", which, as is known, was then based in Tbilisi. But both the West and Russia, both before and now, are forced to maneuver between the interests of the Turkic tandem and Armenia, weighing all the emerging collisions on the scales. In 2024, the Americans themselves the agreement  with Georgia. The motive? A revision of Tbilisi's foreign policy. But didn't this happen because the strategic charter on the part of the United States, firstly, was primarily instrumental in nature, and, secondly, contained more declarations than practically useful things? - asked Markedonov.

юрий
Но и Запад, и Россия и ранее, и сейчас вынуждены лавировать между интересами тюркского тандема и Армении, взвешивать на весах все возникающие коллизии. Итак, им можно лавировать, а Армении нельзя Вот и Армения вынуждена лавировать между центрами силы Западом, уходящей со сцены Россией и Ираном. который обретает все большую важность для Армении, в частности, в связи с его политикой по Сюнику. Если они могут сидеть на двух-трех стульях, то и Армения должна делать то же самое. А иначе двойные стандарты, о которых так любят рассуждать в России.
