“Peaceful relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan are a good thing, the role of the USA here is problematic, because the US is not part of the South Caucasus region,” in the interview with 168 Hours said Professor Jeffrey Sachs, renowned economist, professor, and Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University’s Earth Institute.
During the interview with 168 Hours, he mentioned that one type of American ambassador wants to represent Washington, even if it means making the host nation upset, another type of Ambassador will try to ingratiate himself, especially with the dictatorships in the world, thinking that if they have a smooth relationship with the president of the country in which they’re serving, that means that they are a good ambassador.
Dr. Pietro Shakarian, a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of History at the National Research University – Higher School of Economics in St. Petersburg and a returning lecturer at the American University of Armenia, responded to Prime Minister Pashinyan’s statement that he sees “no problem” with Turkey potentially pursuing the idea of Greater Turan. Shakarian recalled key historical events, emphasizing that the concept behind the “Turan” project originates from the goal of permanently exterminating the Armenian people from their historical homeland.
