“Disagreements of superpowers influence the NKR issue” (video)
The meeting of the U.S. President Barak Obama and the RF President Vladimir Putin at G-20 Summit held on September 4-5 gave nothing, says political analyst Styopa Safaryan, adding that many people expected that the U.S. President would be able to convince Vladimir Putin to change his policy not only in Ukraine, but also Syria. “As shortly after Obama told the media outlets, he made it clear for Putin, that the sanctions will be lifted only in the case, if Putin respects the international right, but the RF evidently is not going to do it, especially doesn’t want to show that it is isolated,” Styopa Safaryan, political expert, Director of the Armenian Institute of International and Security Affairs, told “A1+”. The main topic of G-20 Summit was “Creation of innovative, invigorated, interconnected and inclusive world economy”, but, as it had been expected, the main meetings and developments were political. The analysts also expected redrawing of world map from this summit, expecting creation of two independent Kurdish states- one in Iraq and other in Syria. “It has been said not once that Iraq will be divided to three parts and Syria- to several. Maybe that process has already started; they are taking steps and come to agreements,” notes Heritage faction secretary Tevan Poghosyan. The predictions in terms of the agreements reached at G-20 for the RA aren’t positive. “Both the USA and the RF and European countries in general have great involvement both in our region and the Karabakh issue. Those disagreements are indirectly projected or influence the negotiations on the NKR issue and on the dynamics of conflict in the region in general,” says Styopa Safaryan. “When superpowers come to an agreement, very often it happens at the expense of the small ones. Naturally, here we have problems to understand what our policy or calculations must be, so that it won’t be at our expense, or if they have a desire to do it at our expense, not to allow it,” thinks Heritage faction secretary Tevan Poghosyan. Besides, the political analysts remind of the Armenian community in Syria; if the meetings at G-20 don’t have positive consequences, first of all our compatriots will be affected.
