Former RA Deputy Prime Minister Armen Gevorgyan expressed his gratitude for the constructive and interesting responses to his article on resolutions of the future.
“Many were interested in the realism of the proposals presented. As an example, I would like to briefly present some generalizations from our not so distant but already forgotten past.
Այսպես․
In the early 2000s, it was possible to find a pragmatic formula for decent peace and development for Armenia. with the main choice in favor of Russia, to establish the right balance of relations with the West. Since 2001, Washington and the EU have become the main partners in the implementation of internal reforms in Armenia, and this was perceived as normal by Moscow.
As a result.
· A gas pipeline was built from Iran to Armenia, while maintaining constructive relations with both Russia and the USA.
· That resolution gave Armenia the opportunity to put the issue of recognition and condemnation of the Armenian Genocide on the agenda of international relations.
· Thanks to such a balance, Armenia, being a CSTO member, has accumulated rich experience of relations with NATO.
· The authorities were able to actively cooperate with international financial organizations, bring western funds and foreign investments to Armenia.
Thanks to such a balance, Armenia was able to actively participate in the integration processes initiated by Russia, simultaneously become a member of the Council of Europe, WTO and develop cooperation with the EU.
· That resolution allowed us to restrain the aggression of our neighbors, ensured peace on the line of contact, limited Russia’s cooperation with Azerbaijan in the military-technical field and the implementation of some regional infrastructure projects bypassing Armenia.
By the way, I did not write about India separately in the last article. But I want to point out that the Indian government is also purposefully working towards the development of the North-South transport corridor. For this purpose, they are intensively developing the Chabahar free trade zone on the coast of the Oman Sea,” the former deputy prime minister wrote on his Telegram channel.
