Expert: Armenia’s relations with its neighbors remained within status quo
Armenia’s foreign policy and its relations with its neighbors remained within the status quo in 2012, political scientist Levon Shirinyan told reporters in Yerevan.
The expert attached importance to progress in Armenia’s relations with the European Union, Armenia’s participation in the Eurasian integration process, Armenia’s balanced policy on Iran, Georgia and Syria.
Referring to Karabakh issue, Shirinyan said that as a result of the activities and strong self-defense of Armenian army, “Azerbaijani dragon’s head is pressed against the ground and it is hardly breathing.”
Azerbaijan takes no military action because it is unable to fight against the Armenian army, said the expert.
The normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations has no prospect, Shirinyan concluded, with Ankara linking this process to Karabakh issue.
