Washington Can Push Yerevan to Settle Karabakh Conflict under Baku Requirements
Interacting with Baku is more important for the U.S. than with Yerevan. With this in mind, Washington may push Armenia to the resolution of the conflict rather on the conditions of Azerbaijan.
This opinion was expressed in an interview with ArmInfo by the expert from the Russian Center of the Caspian-Black Sea Basin Andrei Areshev.
In exchange, Armenia will receive European integration, including the normalization of relations with Turkey.
"However, this trend will cost Yerevan a price in the form of Nagorno-Karabakh, so Stepanakert will quite possibly play the role of Kosovska Mitrovica, and not Pristina," said Areshev.
He believes that Moscow should cooperate with the authorities and the opposition in Armenia to block any U.S. initiatives to promote this integration project.
"Of course, I just mean the Eurasian integration project, as an alternative to the offered opening of borders with Turkey. This is due primarily to the interests of the United States, for which the normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations is important," said the expert.
However, the actualization of the "Turkish" trend is difficult to imagine not only without a settlement of the Karabakh conflict on preferential terms for Baku, but without compromising the idea of Eurasian integration of Armenia, which refers to the development of relations with Russia, said Areshev. -02D-
