The moment of truth in the relationship between Armenia and its neighbors, namely, the moment of awareness of their place in the region is nearing, said political scientist Rasim Aghayev, commenting on the statement of Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan, expressing concern about the negative impact of economic crisis in Russia in the Armenian economy.
"It is possible to say that Yerevan has provided good news recently. I say this not because I am inclined to gloat over the deteriorating social situation of the Armenian population, but only in view of the fact that the situation gives us hope that the Armenian elite, possibly under the influence of a strong crisis will finally, begin to revise their ideological ideas, pushing them over the past hundred years for expansion, for aggression against their neighbors", noted the political scientist.
At the same time he hoped to strengthen the positions of «the stratum of the Armenian elite, who understand the primary law of the XXI century, fixed in the formula of linkage and interconditionality of world envisioning cooperation, mutual assistance in all parts of the world".
"I believe that officials in Armenia do not accidentally talk about the deteriorating socio-economic situation, which was one of the reasons why the Armenian ruling circles came into direct negotiations with Turkey and expressed an inclination to a certain acquiescence", noted R. Agayev.
The political scientist believes that the ruling classes of Armenia are concerned to a large extent not so much about the prospect of the situation of the masses, but the threat to their sustainability.
"It is therefore important to encourage the political elite and the masses to realize that the welfare of the Armenian people does not lie in the misinterpreted national goals, whose content is the annexion of some historical lands to Armenia, but the restoration of good-neighborly relations, cooperation and creation of favorable conditions, when Armenians could work together with other peoples of the Caucasus, Turkey, the whole region, to establish atmosphere of well-being and not the atmosphere of expansion and occupation", he said.
"The moment of truth in the relationship between Armenia and its neighbors, namely, the moment of awareness of their place in the region is nearing", concluded Aghayev.
