The South Caucasus to become a priority direction of the U.S. foreign policy, Arman Navasardyan says
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Arman Navasardyan says the developments around Syria has brought the entire world to the brink of a new cold war, yet he doesn’t share the predictions of a looming world war. At a press conference held on Wednesday, Navasardyan suggested the Syrian president Bashar Assad has no future role in solving the crisis, since the use of chemical weapons made the civilized world to stand in opposition to him.
“To make brave assumptions, the future developments may lead to Syria’s fragmentation. Despite the recent progress in the fight against Daesh, the terrorist organization seems embolden even more contrary to the Trump administration pledges to eradicate and eliminate that,” Navasardyan said, pointing a new strategy adopted by the terrorist to penetrate into the civilian settlements and continue their struggle.
To the expert conviction, the Russian-US relations are set to undergo another cycle of stagnation not to speak of total suspension of interstate relations. Navasardyan next spoke of another threat to humanity - North Korea, which is even more dangerous and actual. “If China and the U.S fail to find a common ground, serous developments are not ruled out. North Korea should not be overlooked with its strong army and modern armament.”
The expert next reflected on the pressing issues in the region of the South Caucasus.
“Some argue that Americans are not keen in getting into the South Caucasus, viewing the region in the sphere of exclusively Russian interests. The perception is being changed. I am confident our region will be one of the priority directions of the U.S. foreign policy with actors such as Iran, Russia, Turkey and Israel having respective interests at stake. Armenia has nothing but to maneuver and act accurately,” Navasardyan said.
