“In my conviction, it’ll become a benchmark milestone for NATO, it will realize how justified the decisions were , in particular, deploying multinational military units in Baltic countries and in Poland,” Tsintsadze said. According to the latter, although Georgia didn’t obtain what it wanted—NATO membership plan, it recorded a serious progress.”
“A few important issues have been settled at Warsaw NATO Summit. First, NATO is deploying armed forces in Baltic countries and in Poland, which was also planned before. Poland and Baltic countries are becoming full NATO member countries. The verbal veto, which Russia had regarding this issue, was eliminated. Second, the fact, that it has been stated, that Georgia will become a NATO member country, and serious cooperation will be recorded with Ukraine, and here again Russia’s veto was removed regarding the states of post-Soviet space.”
“I think the time will come, when Turks will rather calmly react to this fact, I mean, the Turkish authorities. When we look back, we’ll see that 5,7,10 years ago such reflections were quite different. 10 years ago no one could imagine that Turks could go into the streets on Istanbul or Ankara on the commemoration day of the Armenian Genocide and express solidarity with Armenians. Now all these happen and one cannot turn back to it. Time for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Turkey will come.”
“Recognition of Genocide doesn’t have a Christian nuance, the Genocide was recognized not only by individuals and states professing Christianity, here it doesn’t refer a Christian, but a humanist, a person, who condemns that crime committed against humanity. Of course, in certain cases, in certain issues our neighbors attempt to transfer religious nuance to those issues, depending on the audience,” Serzh Sargsyan, RA president, told at the interview to Arabic Al Mayadeen.
“Armenia’s authorities appeared in a situation not so favorable to them, as NATO, on the one hand touches upon the fact, that it’s not a threat for Russia and is ready for a dialogue with those countries, when Russia will be ready for that. On the other hand, Russia is rather nervous about expansion of NATO and I don’t exclude that Russia will press its partners so that relations with NATO will be reached to the minimum or be completely suspended.”
“I was going to hand that letter to their Government next year, and in particular, to Erdogan, and I won’t open the brackets how it’ll be done. I will only say that I’m going to set another record next year, during which I’ll hand that letter. Presently I’m intensively preparing for implementation of that purpose.”
As for the whole South Caucasus and NK conflict, Stewart stated that in relations with Armenia NATO attempts to assist to the reforms in the defense system, in reply to the support of Armenia’s peacekeeping mission, which NATO has always highly assessed. “However, in NATO-Armenia relations, due to membership to CSTO, thus, the sides don’t express ambitions for more,” Stewart said.
Artur Janibekyan was awarded “Media Manager of Russia” in 2012 as well “for exclusive investment in creation of trademarks and TV productions, as well as for the biggest deal concluded in the field of TV and content-production.”
“The only reality is that Russia became rather aggressive towards NATO member countries and openly states that the policy of NATO’s expansion on its traditional zones of influence may be counteracted. Thus, the name of united air defense system—“Caucasian” was a hint to NATO, that Russia doesn’t intend to concede the Caucasus to any other security system.”
To all probabilities, the Armenian side will concede not 5 regions, as anticipated by the “Russian plan,” but for instance, 2 or 3, for which details on holding a referendum on Karabakh’s status will be more certain.
